[3] At about that time a certain slave, Danus by name, was accused by his wife on trifling charges merely to intimidate him; this woman was approached by Rufinus, who had come to know her in some way or other. He was the man who had given certain information that he had learned through Gaudentius, one of the agents,¹ and had caused the death of Africanus, then governor-general of Pannonia, along with his guests, as I have related;² he was even then, because of his obsequiousness, chief steward of the praetorian prefecture.
