that　Tiberius　never　would　have　ordered　any　such　thing；　but
  being　pressed　with　the　same　question　by　several　others；　he
  declared；　〃If　Tiberius　had　commanded　it；　it　would　have　been
  right　for　me　to　do　it；　for　he　never　would　have　commanded　it；
  if　it　had　not　been　for　the　people's　good。〃　　Blossius　at　this
  time　was　pardoned；　and　afterwards　went　away　to　Aristonicus　in
  Asia；　and　when　Aristonicus　was　overthrown　and　ruined；　killed
  himself。
  The　senate；　to　soothe　the　people　after　these　transactions；
  did　not　oppose　the　division　of　the　public　lands；　and
  permitted　them　to　choose　another　commissioner　in　the　room　of
  Tiberius。　　So　they　elected　Publius　Crassus；　who　was
  Gracchus's　near　connection；　as　his　daughter　Licinia　was
  married　to　Caius　Gracchus；　although　Cornelius　Nepos　says；
  that　it　was　not　Crassus's　daughter　whom　Caius　married；　but
  Brutus's；　who　triumphed　for　his　victories　over　the
  Lusitanians；　but　most　writers　state　it　as　we　have　done。　　The
  people；　however；　showed　evident　marks　of　their　anger　at
  Tiberius's　death；　and　were　clearly　waiting　only　for　the
  opportunity　to　be　revenged；　and　Nasica　was　already　threatened
  with　an　impeachment。　　The　senate；　therefore；　fearing　lest
  some　mischief　should　befall　him；　sent　him　ambassador　into
  Asia；　though　there　was　no　occasion　for　his　going　thither。
  For　the　people　did　not　conceal　their　indignation；　even　in　the
  open　streets；　but　railed　at　him；　whenever　they　met　him
  abroad；　calling　him　a　murderer　and　a　tyrant；　one　who　had
  polluted　the　most　holy　and　religious　spot　in　Rome　with　the
  blood　of　a　sacred　and　inviolable　magistrate。　　And　so　Nasica
  left　Italy；　although　be　was　bound；　being　the　chief　priest；　to
  officiate　in　all　principal　sacrifices。　　Thus　wandering
  wretchedly　and　ignominiously　from　one　place　to　another；　he
  died　in　a　short　time　after；　not　far　from　Pergamus。　　It　is　no
  wonder　that　the　people　had　such　an　aversion　to　Nasica；　when
  even　Scipio　Africanus；　though　so　much　and　so　deservedly
  beloved　by　the　Romans；　was　in　danger　of　quite　losing　the　good
  opinion　which　the　people　had　of　him；　only　for　repeating；　when
  the　news　of　Tiberius's　death　was　first　brought　to　Numantia；
  the　verse　out　of　Homer
  Even　so　perish　all　who　do　the　same。
  And　afterwards；　being　asked　by　Caius　and　Fulvius；　in　a　great
  assembly；　what　he　thought　of　Tiberius's　death；　he　gave　an
  answer　adverse　to　Tiberius's　public　actions。　　Upon　which
  account；　the　people　thenceforth　used　to　interrupt　him　when　he
  spoke；　which；　until　that　time；　they　had　never　done；　and　he；
  on　the　other　hand；　was　induced　to　speak　ill　of　the　people。
  But　of　this　the　particulars　are　given　in　the　life　of　Scipio。
