This wikipedia article is based on 20th century sources. Will be very nice when such an article will be based on original sources rather than biased interpretations and extrapolations 2000 years later. As Frank Herbert said: History is written by historians.

I must say, "20th century sources" isn't exactly a phrase that comes to mind when discussing Tacitus. But pray tell, what's your translation of the original Latin? It's not particularly difficult to find the original text here:
