“Inveniō apud quōsdam auctōrēs pavōre bellī seu fastīdiō utrīusque prīncipis, quōrum flāgitia ac dēdecus apertiōre in diēs fāmā nōscēbantur, dubitāsse exercitus num positō certāmine vel ipsī in medium cōnsultārent, vel senātuī permitterent legere imperātōrem, atque eō ducēs Othōniānōs spatium ac morās suāsisse, praecipuā spē Paulīnī, quod vetustissimus cōnsulārium et mīlitia clārus glōriam nōmenque Britannicīs expedītiōnibus meruisset.”
I find among certain authors that from fear of war or disgust at both emperors, whose disgraceful acts and dishonour were becoming more well-known by the day through more open reports, the army was uncertain whether, laying aside the conflict, they themselves might consult together openly or allow the Senate to choose an emperor, and for that reason, the Orthonian generals had advised delay and postponement, with the chief hope especially in Paulinus, because he was the oldest of the consulars and famous for his military service, having earned glory and renown through the British campaigns.
