- With: Augustus Lepidus Varro Muraena Fannius Caepio Marcus Egnatius Plautius Rufus Lucius Paulus Lucius Audasius Asinius Epicadus
- “He afterwards quashed several tumults and insurrections, as well as several conspiracies against his life, which were discovered, by the confession of accomplices, before they were ripe for execution; and others subsequently. Such were those of the younger Lepidus, of Varro Muraena, and Fannius Caepio; then that of Marcus Egnatius, afterwards that of Plautius Rufus, and of Lucius Paulus, his grand-daughter’s husband; and besides these, another of Lucius Audasius, an old feeble man, who was under prosecution for forgery; as also of Asinius Epicadus, a Parthinian mongrel, and at last that of Telephus, a lady’s prompter; for he was in danger of his life from the plots and conspiracies of some of the lowest of the people against him.”
