Paterculus and Suetonius explain very clearly the nature of the compact, but do not use the term.

Sulla had not only deprived the children of the proscribed of all their estates, but had also debarred them from aspiring to any political office see Velleius Paterculus, ii, 28. For examples of the clemency of Augustus see Suetonius, div. Aug., 33 and 51 and 67; Seneca, de Ira, iii, 23, 4 ff., and 40, 2; Velleius Paterculus, ii, 86, 87.
