| Context | Addressed to Britannicus; told to gain from his father an account of all he had done. Forms part of evidence Suetonius gives for the fact that Claudius began to show repentance for his marriage to Agrippina/adoption of Nero towards the end of his life |
| Comments | Proverb comes from the story of Telephus, who, having been wounded by Achilles, was informed that he could only be cured by the person who dealt the blow = Achilles cured him by rubbing rust from his spear into the wound |
