Ceterum Seianus maerentem et improvidam altius
perculit, immissis qui per speciem amicitiae monerent paratum ei venenum, vitandas soceri epulas. atque illa simulationum nescia, cum propter discumberet, non vultu aut
sermone flecti, nullos attingere cibos, donec advertit Tiberius, forte an quia audiverat; idque quo acrius experiretur,
poma, ut erant adposita, laudans nurui sua manu tradidit.
aucta ex eo suspicio Agrippinae et intacta ore servis tramisit. nec tamen Tiberii vox coram secuta, sed obversus ad
matrem non mirum ait si quid severius in eam statuisset
a qua veneficii insimularetur. inde rumor parari exitium
neque id imperatorem palam audere, secretum ad perpetrandum quaeri.
