“6. τούτων οὖν τῶν τεράτων οὔθ᾽ ὁ Σεϊανὸς οὔτ᾽
ἄλλος τις ἐνθύμιον ἐποιήσατο: πρὸς γὰρ τὴν
τῶν παρόντων ὄψιν οὐδ᾽ ἂν εἰ σαφῶς θεός τις
προέλεγεν ὅτι τοσαύτη δι᾽ ὀλίγου μεταβολή
[2]
γενήσοιτο, ἐπίστευσεν ἄν τις. τήν τε οὖν τύχην 1
αὐτοῦ κατακορῶς 2 ὤμνυσαν, καὶ συνάρχοντα τοῦ
Τιβερίου, οὐκ ἐς τὴν ὑπατείαν ἀλλ᾽ ἐς τὸ κράτος
ὑποσημαίνοντες, ἐπεκάλουν. 3 Τιβέριος δὲ ἠγνόει
μὲν οὐδὲν ἔτι τῶν κατ᾽ αὐτόν, βουλευόμενος 4 δὲ
ὅντινα τρόπον αὐτὸν ἀποκτείνῃ, καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκων
ὅπως ἀσφαλῶς ἐκ τοῦ φανεροῦ τοῦτο ποιήσει,
θαυμαστὸν δή τινα τρόπον καὶ αὐτῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ
τοῖς ἄλλοις, ὥστε τὴν γνώμην αὐτῶν ἀκριβῶς
[3]
μαθεῖν, ἐχρήσατο. περί τε γὰρ ἑαυτοῦ πολλὰ
καὶ ποικίλα καὶ τῷ Σεϊανῷ καὶ τῇ βουλῇ συνεχῶς
ἐπέστελλε, νῦν μὲν λέγων 5 φλαύρως ἔχειν καὶ
ὅσον οὐκ ἤδη τελευτήσειν, νῦν δὲ καὶ σφόδρα
ὑγιαίνειν καὶ αὐτίκα δὴ μάλα ἐς τὴν Ῥώμην
[4]
ἀφίξεσθαι: καὶ τὸν Σεϊανὸν τοτὲ μὲν πάνυ ἐπῄνει
τοτὲ δὲ πάνυ καθῄρει, τῶν τε ἑταίρων αὐτοῦ τοὺς
μὲν ἐτίμα δι᾽ ἐκεῖνον τοὺς δ᾽ ἠτίμαζεν. ὥστε ὁ
Σεϊανὸς ἐν τῷ μέρει καὶ τοῦ ὑπερόγκου καὶ τοῦ
ὑπερφόβου πληρούμενος ἀεὶ μετέωρος ἦν: οὔτε
γὰρ δεδιέναι αὐτῷ καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καὶ νεοχμῶσαί
τι ἐπῄει, 6 καὶ γὰρ ἐτιμᾶτο, 7 οὔτ᾽ αὖ θαρσεῖν 8
καὶ ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιτολμῆσαί τι, καὶ γὰρ ἐκολούετο.
[5]
καὶ μέντοι καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ πάντες ἐναλλὰξ
[p. 204]
καὶ δι᾽ ὀλίγου: τὰ ἐναντιώτατα ἀκούοντες, καὶ
μήτε τὸν Σεϊανὸν θαυμάζειν ἔτι ἢ καὶ καταφρονεῖν
ἔχοντες, ἔς τε τὸν Τιβέριον ὡς καὶ τεθνήξοντα ἢ
καὶ ἥξοντα ὑποπτεύοντες, ἐν ἀμφιβόλῳ ἐγίγνοντο.
