Claudius was in a state of no less trepidation; for he could not implicitly rely on Geta, the captain of his guards; an equally fickle instrument of fraud or honesty. Nar- cissus therefore in concert with those who entertained the same mistrust, assured the emperor, " that there was no other expedient to preserve him than the transferring the command of his guards to one of his freedmen, for that day only;" and offered himself to undertake it. And, that Lucius Vitellius and Publius Largus Caeci...na, might not on his way to the city prevail with Claudius to relent, he desired to have a seat in the same vehicle, and took it. 34. It was afterwards currently reported, that, while the emperor was giving expression to the opposite feel- ings which agitated his breast, at one time inveighing against the atrocities of his wife, and then at length re- curring to the recollection of conjugal intercourse and the tender age of his children, Vitellius uttered nothing but "Oh! thevillany! Oh! the treason!" Narcissus indeed pressed him to discard all ambiguity of expression, and let them know his real sentiments ; but he did not there- fore prevail upon him to give any other than indecisive answers, and such as would admit of any interpretation which might be put upon them ; and his example was fol- lowed by Largus Caecina.
