qui ab Caesare omnium iam et externorum et domesticorum hostium victore cum abdicare filium suum iuberetur, quod is tribunus plebis cum Marullo collega invidiam ei tamquam regnum adfectanti fecerat, in hunc modum respondere sustinuit: celerius tu mihi, Caesar, omnes filios meos eripies quam ex iis ego unum nota mea pellam.
Caesar, now victor over all his enemies foreign and domestic, ordered him to disown his son because the latter as Tribune of the Plebs together with his colleague Marullus had sought to bring Caesar into odium by suggesting that he aimed at becoming king. Caesetius had the courage to reply thus: You will rob me of all my sons, Caesar, before I drive one of them away by my censure.
