EXC. DE SENT. p. 390, 10 (= 25, 2): ὅτι ὁ Γράκχος ἐπὶ τοσοῦτο προέβη δυναστείας καὶ ὕβρεως, ὥστε τῶν ὄχλων κρινάντων ἐκβαλεῖν τὸν Ὀκτάυιον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν εἰπὼν τῶι δήμωι διότι ταύτην χάριν δίδωσι τῆι μητρὶ προεντετευγμένος ὑπ’ αὐτῆς.

Excerpta de sententiis, p. 390.10 (= 25.2): Gracchus advanced to such a degree of personal power and insolence that, when the crowds decided to expel Octavius from the city, he released him, telling the people that he granted this favor to his mother because she had interceded with him beforehand.

Exc. De sent. p. 390, 10 (= 25, 2) : Gracchus poussa si loin sa puissance et sa démesure que, lorsque les foules eurent décidé d’expulser Octavius de la ville, il le laissa partir en déclarant au peuple qu’il accordait cette faveur à sa mère, qui l’en avait auparavant supplié.
