...Cn. Pompeius.
...Q. Metellus.

VVHen by reason of the contentions among so mighty competitours, the Consuls could not be created by the kalends of Ianuarie: there passed an Act of the Senate, according to the mind and advise of Bibulus, by vertue whereof Cn. Pompeius was by the Interregent Serv. Sulpitius created Con∣sull the third time, upon the five and twentieth of Februarie, without a colleague first, and pre∣sently entred upon the government. But after∣wards to avoid the envie that might arise there∣upon, he tooke unto him as companion in the Consulship for the five last months of the yeer behind, Q. Caecilius Pius Metellus Scipio, his wives father. Thus writeth Paedian upon the oration of Cicero in defence of Milo: Plutarch likewise, Appianus & Dio. This Metellus Pius Scipio was also called P. Cornelius Scipio Nasica, sonne of Nasica Scipio, who beeing adopted by Q. Metellus Pius, is called by Caelius in the fa∣miliar Epistles of Cicero, Q. Caecilius sonne of Q. nephew of Q. Metellus Pius Scipio.
