Talibus curis exercitus, quodque saevae cogitationis indicium erat, secreto suo satiatus, optimum in praesentia statuit reponere odium, donec impetus famae et favor exercitus languesceret: nam etiam tum Agricola Britanniam obtinebat.
Suet. Calig. 47. Formarentur. Studia acta. Lawyers and politicians, all public men, had been gagged and silenced by Domitian. Alius. Another than the Emperor. Occuparet==pre-occupy, so as to rob him of it. Utcumque. Somehow, possibly, perhaps. Other things perhaps were more easily concealed; but the merit of a good commander was an imperial prerogative. Quodque satiatus. Cf. Plin.
Panegyr. 48: nec unquam ex solitudine sua prodeuntem, nisi ut solitudinem faceret. The whole passage in Pliny is a graphic picture of the same tyrant, the workings of whose heart are here so laid bare by the pen of Pliny's friend Tacitus. Secreto satiatus may also be translated: satisfied with his own secret, i.e. keeping to himself his cherished hatred and jealousy. Languesceret.
