3. L. VISELLIUS VARRO, C. F. C. N., son of No. 2, was consul A. D. 24 with Ser. Cornelius Cethegus. In order to please Sejanus, Varro in his consulship accused C. Silius, who had commanded in Germany at the same time as his father, and he covered his disgraceful compliance with the wishes of Sejanus by the pretext of his father's enmity against Silius. (Tac. Ann. 4.17, 19.) [SILIUS, No. 5.]
