Hist. 2.89.1Adcelerāta interim Vespasiānī coepta Illyricī exercitūs studiō trānsgressī in partīs: tertia legiō exemplum cēterīs Moesiae legiōnibus praebuit;Meanwhile Vespasian's enterprise was hastened by the zeal of the Illyrian army in coming over to his side: the Third Legion set an example to the other legions of Moesia; Hist. 2.89.1octāva erat ac septima Claudiāna, imbūtae favōre Othōnis, quamvīs proeliō nōn interfuissent.these were the Eighth and the Seventh Claudian, steeped in favour for Otho, although they had not taken part in the battle. Hist. 2.89.1Aquilēiam prōgressae, prōturbātīs quī dē Othōne nūntiābant lacerātīsque vēxillīs nōmen Vitelliī praeferentibus, raptā postrēmō pecūniā et inter sē dīvīsā, hostīliter ēgerant.Having advanced to Aquileia, they had driven off those who brought news about Otho, torn up the standards bearing Vitellius' name, and finally seized the money and divided it among themselves, behaving like enemies. Hist. 2.89.1Unde metus et ex metū cōnsilium, posse imputārī Vespasiānō quae apud Vitellium excūsanda erant.Hence fear, and from fear a plan: that what would have to be excused before Vitellius could be counted to their credit with Vespasian.
Hist. 2.89.1Ita trēs Moesicae legiōnēs per epistulās adliciēbant Pannonicum exercitum aut abnuentī vim parābant.So the three Moesian legions tried to win over the Pannonian army by letters, or prepared force if it refused. Hist. 2.89.1In eō mōtū Aponius Sāturnīnus Moesiae rēctor pessimum facinus audet, missō centuriōne ad interficiendum Tettium Iūliānum septimae legiōnis lēgātum ob simultātēs, quibus causam partium praetendēbat.In that upheaval Aponius Saturninus, governor of Moesia, ventures a most wicked crime, sending a centurion to kill Tettius Julianus, legate of the Seventh Legion, because of private quarrels, for which he used the party's cause as a pretext. Hist. 2.89.1Iūliānus compertō discrīmine et gnārīs locōrum adscītīs per āvia Moesiae ultrā montem Haemum profūgit;Julianus, learning of the danger and taking on men who knew the country, fled through the trackless parts of Moesia beyond Mount Haemus; Hist. 2.89.1nec deinde cīvīlī bellō interfuit, per variās morās susceptum ad Vespasiānum iter trahēns et ex nūntiīs cūnctābundus aut properāns.nor did he afterwards take part in the civil war, dragging out with various delays the journey he had undertaken to Vespasian, and hesitating or hurrying according to the news.
