- Before leaving the province, he formed a plan of unspeakable cruelty: to slaughter the legions that had once mutinied on Augustus's passing, because they had held both his father Germanicus, their commander, and himself as an infant captive at the time – and though he was with great effort talked out of such a rash thought, he could in no way be dissuaded from persevering in wanting to decimate them.
- prius quam provincia decederet, consilium iniit nefandae atrocitatis legiones, quae post excessum Augusti seditionem olim moverant, contrucidandi, quod et patrem suum Germanicum ducem et se infantem tunc obsedissent, vixque a tam praecipiti cogitatione revocatus, inhiberi nullo modo potuit quin decimare velle perseveraret.
