After this he went to Cinna's camp, where finding some false suggestions and calumnies prevailing against him, he began to be afraid and presently withdrew himself secretly; which sudden disappearance occasioned great suspicion. And there went a rumor and speech through all the camp, that Cinna had murdered the young man; upon which all that had been anyways disobliged, and bore any malice to him, resolved to make an assault upon him. He, endeavoring to make his escape, was seized by a centurion, who pursued him with his naked sword. Cinna, in this distress, fell upon his knees, and offered him his seal-ring, of great value, for his ransom; but the centurion repulsed him insolently, saying, "I did not come to seal a covenant, but to be revenged upon a lawless and wicked tyrant;" and so dispatched him immediately.

白话
秦纳在营中听到有人散布对自己的诬陷，心生恐惧便偷偷溜走，结果反而引起更大猜疑，众人传言他被谋杀，于是对他不满的人趁机起事。他逃跑时被百夫长持剑追上，跪地求饶并献上贵重戒指赎命，但百夫长拒绝说：我来不是为了订约，而是为了惩罚无法无天的暴君，随即杀了他。这说明：当一个人靠恐惧和暴力维持权力时，一旦出现信任裂缝，连原本的追随者也会迅速倒戈；而用贿赂求饶，在对方认定你是暴君时毫无作用。
