• ...C. Caesar Augustus. X.
• ...Cn. Piso.

CAssiodorus setteth downe for Consuls, Cae∣sar Augustus the tenth time, and Cneus Piso. The Sicilian records Augustus the eleventh time, and Piso. And Dio, Augustus the eleventh ime, with Cn. Calpurnius, sonne of Cneus, Piso. By a fragment of the capitol stone it appeareth the Augustus entered the Consulship the ele∣venth time, together with Aulus Terrentius Var∣ro Muraena: also that Muraena died in his ma∣gistracie, in whose steed was elected Cn. Calpur∣nius Piso; and Augustus went out of his govern∣ment. Of which matter Dio thus writeth; Au∣gustus went to the Albane hill, and there resig∣ned up the Consulship. For whereas both hee himselfe and many others, ever since the time that the C. W. was set in frame & established, had borne the yeerely magistrates, he thought that from thence forwards hee was to forbeare the same, to the end, that the honourable dig∣nitie of Consuls should bee open to as many as might bee. And this did he without the citie, because hee would not bee hindered and letted in the action; and therewith substituted in

his place Lucius Sestius, a man that of all others most affected and loved Brutus; who also wrate of his praises and commendable parts.
