Histories IV.5-8

with Helvidius Priscus (Helvidius was Thrasea's son-in-law.) “He had risen no higher than the rank of quaestor when Paetus Thrasea chose him for his son-in-law, and of Thrasea's virtues he absorbed none so much as his independence.”
enemies with Eprius Marcellus (Marcellus informed against Thrasea.) “After Thrasea's fall Helvidius was banished, but he returned to Rome under Galba and proceeded to prosecute Eprius Marcellus, who had informed against his father-in-law.”
friends with Vespasian “Vespasian had been a friend of Thrasea, Soranus, and Sentius, and even though there might be no need to punish their prosecutors, still it would be wrong to put them forward.”
enemies with Nero “As for Thrasea, it was not my speech but the senate's verdict which did for him. Nero took a savage delight in farces like that trial, and, really, the friendship of such an emperor cost me as much anxiety as banishment did to others.”
with Helvidius Priscus (Thrasea was Helvidius's father-in-law.) “He had risen no higher than the rank of quaestor when Paetus Thrasea chose him for his son-in-law, and of Thrasea's virtues he absorbed none so much as his independence.”

friends with Arulenus Rusticus “We find it recorded, that for celebrating the praises of Paetus Thrasea, Arulenus Rusticus suffered a deadly doom;”
