hath
a

Eye
upon

at

as
I
think
,
and
as
some
time
ago
it
was
known
he
had
,
under
the
Reign
of
our
Father
.
I
desire
you
to
take
good
Notice
of
him
:
Every
thing
we
do
displeases
him
.
He
grows
extraordinary
Rich
,
laughs
at
us
both
;
calls
you
a
Doating
Philosopher
,
and
me
a
Luxurious
Fool.
Consider
,
what
is
to
be
done
:
I
hate
not
the
Man
,
but
do
you
see
whether
it
is
not
ill
for
you
and
your
Children
to
keep
such
a
one
in
your
Army
;
and
one
besides
that
the
Soldiers
love
,
and
hearken
to
with
pleasure
.
Have
read
your
Letter
,
in
which
you
are
too
apprehensive
,
than
I
would
have
an
Emperor
to
be
,
or
than
suits
well
with
our
Reigns
:
For
if
the
Empire
is
allotted
to
by
Heaven
,
we
should
not
be
able
to
cut
him
off
,
if
we
would
:
You
know
the
saying
of
your
Grandfather
But
if
it
is
not
so
allotted
him
,
he
will
fall
of
himself
into
the
fatal
Snare
,
without
our
Cruelty
.
Neither
can
we
make
a
Man
a
Criminal
,
who
is
accused
by
none
,
and
who
as
you
say
is
beloved
by
the
Army
.
In
Actions
of
Treason
also
,
so
it
is
,
that
even
tho'
they
are
proved
upon
Men
,
the
World
is
apt
to
think
the
Sufferer
injured
;
which
made
your
Grandfather
I
chose
to
name
for
it
,
rather
than
who
was
the
first
indeed
that
said
so
;
because
when
a
thing
is
well
said
,
yet
if
it
is
the
saying
of
a
Tyrant
,
it
hath
not
the
Authority
with
it
,
as
it
deserves
.
Therefore
let
have
his
own
ways
,
being
a
good
Officer
,
Strict
and
Stout
,
and
of
great
Use
in
the
State
.
For
as
to
what
you
urge
about
the
taking
Care
of
my
Children
,
if
shall
deserve
to
be
better
beloved
than
they
,
and
it
is
expedient
for
the
Publick
,
rather
that
he
live

Children
of

them

would

protect
me

my

is
pleasing

I
have
declared
our
Consul
for
the
next
year
Fathers
of
the
Senate

you
have
now
my
Son-in
Law
to
be
your
Consul
:
I
say
,
whose
Age
had
long
ago
been
rewarded
with
that
Office
,
but
that
other
extraordinary
Men
have
intervened
,
to
whom
it
was
just
to
pay
the
Honour
,
that
the
State
hath
owed
them
.
Now
as
for
what
concerns
the
Defection
of
I
beg
and
conjure
you
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
that
you
would
continue
to
me
,
nay
to
your selves
,
the
Character
of
Piety
and
Clemency
,
and
let
the
Senate
put
none
to
death
.
Let
not
one
member
of

Senate
be
put
to
death
,
nor
the
blood
be
spilt
of
any
one
that
is
Noble

Let
the
banished
return
,
and
the
Proscribed
receive
their
Estates
.
I
wish
I
could
raise
even
the
dead
to
life
again
.
For
Revenge
is
never
good
in
an
Emperor
,
it
appears
ill
in
his
own
Caus
〈…〉
let
it
be
never
so
just
.
You
will
give
a
Pardon
therefore
to
the
Children
of
his
Son-in-Law
,
and
his
Wife
.
But
why
do
I
say
Pardon
,
when
they
have
committed
nothing
?
Let
them
live
in
safety
,
knowing
that
they
live
under
the
Reign
of
Let
them
enjoy
the
Patrimony
of
their
Parents
,
which
hath
in
part
been
already
granted
to
them
.
Let
them
have
the
Gold
,
the
Silver
,
and
the
Wardrobe

Let
them
be
rich
.
Let
them
be
safe
.
Let
them
have
their
full
Liberty
,
and
in
the
sight
of
all
People
.
Let
them
be
as
so
many
instances
of
mine
,
and
instances
of
your
Clemency
.
Nor
is
this
such
a
great
Grace
,
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
to
grant
a
Pardon
to
the
Wives
and
Children
of
persons
Proscribed

I
do
further
desire
of
you
,
that
such
of
the
Senatorian
,
and
Equestrian
Orders
,
as
have
been
Accomplices
in
this
Defection
,
be
Protected
also
by
your
Authority
from
Murder
,
from
Proscription
,
from
Fear
,
from
Infamy
,
from
Envy
,
and
from
all
kind
of
Injury
;
and
that
you
allow
this
Honour
to
my
Reign
,
that
none
upon
these
accounts
are
killed
in
it
,
but
who
only
in
the
very
Tumults
are
killed
.
The
Gods
preserve
the
Gods
save
the

save
you

For

I

all

Chastisement

deserve

What

I

who
live

as
if
the

were
given
them
by

by

only
to
be

He

was

a
poor

is
now
become
a

From

,
I
pray
,
but
out
of
the
Bowels
of
the
State
,
and
the
Fortunes
of
the
People
of
the

?
Well
,
let
them
be
Rich
,
let
them
be
Wealthy
,
they
will
so
much
the
more
enrich
the
publick
Coffers

his
good
Opinion
of
him
I
Have
committed
two
Cohorts
to
the
Command
of
of
the
Family
of
the
he
is
an
born
,
it
is
true
;
but
he
hath
not
many
things
in
him
of
that
Country
,
and
he
is
the
Son-in-Law
of
A
Man
of
Experience
,
of
a
serious
Life
,
and
Grave
in
his
Manners
.
I
think
he
will
do
good
in
the
Camp
.
I
am
sure
he
will
do
no
hurt
.
I
have
doubled
his
Salary
,
and
quadrupled
his
other
Allowances
:
Do
you
encourage
him
to
signalize
his
Services
;
and
assure
him
he
shall
be
rewarded
as
he
deserves
.
THE
Fidelity
of
is
to
be
commended
:
who
when
the
Forces
in
were
upon
the
Revolt
,
and
upon
flying
over
to
(
as
certainly
they
had
all
done
,
if
he
had
not
been
with
them
)
was
very
careful
in
preserving
them
in
their
Duty
.
We
think
therefore
that
he
deserves
a
Consulship
.
I
shall
accordingly
substitute
him
in
the
place
of
who
I
am
told
is
so
sick
,
that
there
is
no
appearance
of
his
Recovery
;
But
I
would
not
have
you
to
take
notice
of
it
,
before
he
is
dead
;
lest
it
may
come
to
the
Ears
either
of
himself
,
or
his
Friends
;
which
would
not
look
so
well
.

Great

If
the
Senate
,
and
the
People
of
had
evermore
retained
their
antient
Empire
;
and
that
a
State
so
great
had
never
been
submitted
to
the
power
of
a
single
Person
,
there
had
been
no
to
have
fallen
by
the
Stroke
of
an
Assassine
.
And
then
it
was
during
the
time
of
the
Consular
Government
,
that
those
Families
flourished
,
of
the
and
the
of
whom
your
Fathers
have
many
things
to
say
,
which
they
have
heard
from
their
Grandfathers
before
them
.
Certainly
it
was
the
Senate
that
annexed
to
the
Empire
.
The
Senate
subdued
The
Senate
gave
Laws
to
the
Provinces
of
the
East
.
The
Senate
had
often
attempted
the
and
had
reduced
them
,
if
so
Covetous
a
General
as
had
not
then
been
at
the
Head
of
the
Army
.
It
was
when
was
a
Senator
;
that
he
conquered
at
least
he
had
not
been
declared
Dictator
then
.
And
how
much
better
had
it
been
for
himself
,
if
he
had
stood
in
fear
of
the
Senate
.
Their
Authority
held
good
,
as
far
as
to
the
times
of
being
not
afraid
to
Condemn
that
sordid
and
impure
Prince
,
nor
to
pronounce
their
Judgments
against
him
,
though
he
then
had
the
full
Power
of
Life
and
Death
in
his
hands
.
Wherefore
,
my
Fellow
Soldiers
;
I
for
my
part
,
who
have
had
the
Title
of
conferred
upon
me
by
renounce
that
pretension
,
and
the
Gods
grant
that
others
may
do
so
too
.
Let
the
Senate
Reign
,
and
distribute
the
Provinces
.
Let
the
Senate
make
us
Consuls
:
or
why
do
I
say
the
Senate
?
Let
your selves
,
and
your
Fathers
.
For
your selves
will
also
be
Senators

I
Suppose
you
have
heard
,
How
that
first
of
all
it
was
pretended
,
that
I
by
the
Conspiracy
of
those
about
me
was
killed
;
and
then
that
made
an
Harangue
to
my
Soldiers
upon
that
occasion
,
in
which
he
recommends
himself
mightily
to
the
Senate
,
not
without
a
design
thereby
,
as
I
suppose
,
of
advancing
himself
to
the
Empire
.
For
he
that
is
against
the
Government
of
the
Empire
by
one
Prince
,
and
says
that
it
ought
wholly
to
be
Governed
by
the
Senate
,
seeks
but
to
get
the
Empire
to
himself
through
the
favour
of
the
Senate
.
Look
to
him
therefore
very
strictly
.
For
this
shews
he
is
a
Man
to
be
avoided
as
Death
;
and
so
are
all
such
who
carry
on
designs
to
your
prejudice
.

We
should
have
been
heartily
glad
,
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
to
have
had
our
Sovereign
yet
in
safety
,
and
returning
to
you
in
Triumph
.
We
should
all
have
been
happy
in
such
a
flourishing
State
of
the
Empire
,
and
under
a
Prince
,
who
was
a
Successour
of
the
and
given
us
from
the
Gods
.
But
since
this
Happiness
hath
not
befaln
us
,
by
reason
of
a
Mutiny
of
the
Soldiers
,
which
hath
deprived
us
of
it
,
we
make
you
acquainted
with
what
the
Army
hath
done
as
to
us
in
the
first
place
;
and
next
we
with
your
Consents
,
decree
an
to
be
given
immediately
to
our
late
Prince
,
whose
Murder
the
Army
hath
thought
no
Man
more
worthy
to
avenge
than
his
own
Captain
of
the
Guards
,
to
whom
himself
had
left
it
,
to
chastise
the
Faction
,
had
he
escaped
their
hands
and
lived
.
They
have
presented
me
with
the
Empire
,
which
I
have
therefore
taken
into
my
Protection
;
and
I
shall
continue
it
,
if
the
same
thing
be
pleasing
to
you
,
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
which
is
so
pleasing
to
them
,
to
whom
I
have
given
a
Bounty
,
and
done
every
thing
as
the
Custom
is
for
the
Emperors
to
do
upon
these
occasions
.
My
Son
whom
you
know
,
the
Army
hath
made
my
Partner
in
the
Empire
,
and
hath
not
denied
him
the
Name
of
Indeed
,
they
have
done
him
a
greater
Honour
by
that
Name
,
than
by
that
degree
of
a
Prince
;
which
we
desire
may
be
approved
by
you
,
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
as
a
good
and
happy
Omen
,
that
you
shall
never
want
a
Prince
of
a
Name
which
you
do
so
dearly
love
.
We
and
all
the
Army
have
equally
decreed
the
Honours
of
a
God
unto
And
though
we
might
with
the
Authority
of
Emperors
command
the
same
from
you
,
Fathers
of
the
Senate
;
yet
we
rather
desire
you
to
do
it
,
and
to
dedicate
to
him
,
two
Statues
on
Horseback
,
two
more
standing
in
Military
Habit
,
and
two
others
sitting
in
a

one
.
We
dedicate
also
two
triumphal
Statues
to
the

All
which
,
Fathers
of
the

,
you
will
command
to
be
performed
,
at
our
earnest

Affection

since
for

Condition

My
Fellow

we
give
you
a
Bounty
of
three
pieces

to

upon

occasion

Antoninus
Diadumenus
I
thank
you
,
my
Fellow
Soldiers
,
for
the
Honour
of
the
Empire
,
and
of
the
name
which
you
have
given
me
,
for
it
is
you
that
have
thought
my
Father
and
me
,
worthy
to
be
the
Emperors
of
and
to
command
the
State
:
to
the
Government
whereof
My
Father
will
take
the
Care
not
to
be
wanting
,
and
it
shall
be
my
best
endeavours
not
to
be
wanting
to
the
Glory
of
the
name
of
I
am
sensible
,
it
is
a
name
in
which
the
Emperors
have
gone
before
me
:
who
were
Persons
,
to
whom
it
is
a
difficult
thing
to
answer
worthily
.
I
can
only
say
,
I
will
do
all
that
is
in
my
power
:
and
in
the
mean
time
,
upon
the
joynt
occasion
of
my
Reign
and
my
Name
,
I
promise
you
the
same
,
as
my
most
honoured
Father
hath
done
;
who
hath
but
considered
you
at
you
deserve
.

Honours
paid
to
the
Name
Opilius

It
is
a
thing
void
of
all
Reason
,
and
unsuitable
to
the
Dignity
of
to
covet
,
as
he
did
,
the
Name
of
as
if
that
of
was
not
Honour
enough
.
For
would
he
be
a
God
,
he
could
never
more
eminently
be
so
,
than
as
he
was
an
Emperor
of
so
excellent
a

Am
apt
to
think
,
Sir
,
in
consequence
of
my
Love
and
Duty
to
you
,
that
you
have
not
been
sufficiently
careful
of
your self
,
in
sparing
the
Accomplices
of
the
intended
Revolt
;
whether
it
is
because
you
hope
that
your
Mercy
will
make
them
more
your
Friends
for
the
future
,
or
because
they
are
your
old
Acquaintants
,
and
that
therefore
you
spare
them
.
For
first
of
all
,
as
they
are
Persons
that
have
been
once
exulcerated
in
their
minds
against
you
,
they
can
never
love
you
again
;
and
then
when
old
Friends
forget
themselves
,
so
as
to
turn
Enemies
,
they
make
the
most
cruel
Enemies
of
all
Men.
To
which

the
Army
cries
,
Si te nulla movet tantarum gloria rerum , Virg. Aen. 4. 274. Ascanium surgentem , & spes haeredis Iuli Respice ; cui regnum Italiae , Romanaque tellus Debetur — —
If Thirst of Glory cannot push you on , Yet pray regard the Fortune of your Son , To whom Rome's Empire has been destin'd long .
You
must
put
them
to
death
,
if
you
would
expect
to
live
in
Safety
.
For
if
those
be
spared
,
others
will
not
fail
to
trouble
you
as
much
,
according
to
the
natural
viciousness
of
Mankind
.

my
Obligations

you

I
am
to
thank
you
for
the
Honour
of
my
Name
of
Caesar
,
which
you
gave
me
so
long
since
,
and
for
my
Life
which
you
also
have
preserved

I
thank
you
,
as
for

so
for
the
Style
of

,
which
you
now
give
me
;
and
for

and

all
which
by
altogether

you
have

accepted

things

accept

Name

Let

Let

Let

.
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
I
earnestly
desire
you
not
to
engage
me
to
be
called
to
the
necessity
of
satisfying
so
great
a
Name
as
that
is
,
when
my
Own
,
which
I
have
from
my
Birth
,
and
which
is
but
a
Foreign
one
,
I
find
is
too
Burdensome
to
me
.
For
so
it
is
with
these
Great
Names
,
they
are
Burdens
;
and
not
to
answer
them
,
it
is
as
ill
as
if
the
Name
of
Cicero
should
be
born
by
a
Mute
,
or
the
Name
of
Varro
,
by
a
Blockhead
,
or
that
of
the
Pious
Metellus
by
a
Villain
.
And
that
the
Gods
may
avert
so
ill
an
Omen
,
who
is
there
that
can
be
pleased
to
see
,
that
a
Name
from
whence
great
Actions
are
expected
,
is
not
sustained
in
its
Grandeur
,
by
him
that
bears
it
;
if
he
is
in
a
Station
so
to
do
.
You
know
,
Gentlemen
,
to
what
a
heighth
of
Glory
,
or
rather
to
what
a
Divinity
the
Name
of
Antoninus
hath
been
carried
in
the
Persons
of
four
Princes
;
whose
Piety
,
whose
Learning
,
whose
Innocence
,
and
whose
Fortitude
,
if
we
consider
them
severally
;
What
could
be
more
Religious
than
Antoninus
Pius
?
What
more
knowing
than
Marcus
Antoninus
?
What
more
sincere
than
Verus
Antoninus
?
And
what
more
Brave
and
Valorous
than
Antoninus
Caracallus
?
I
am
not
willing
to
mention
Commodus
Antoninus
upon
this
occasion
to
you
;
except
it
is
to
say
that
he
was
so
much
the
worse
,
because
with
that
ill
life
of
his
,
he
yet
continued
in
the
use
of
the
Name
of
Antoninus
.
Antoninus
Diadumenus
,
had
not
time
,
nor
Age
to
shew
himself
:
an
Art
of
his
Father
,
had
put
that
Name
upon
him
.
But
especially
you
may
easily
remember
,
Gentlemen
,
How
things
lately
went
,
when
the
Filthiest
not
only
of
all
Men
,
but
Brutes
,
took
it
upon
him
to
bear
the
Name
of
Antoninus
;
who
at
the
same
time
in
Impurity
and
Luxury
outdid
Nero
,
Vitellius
,
Commodus
,
and
all
their
wicked
Confederates
.
You
remember
,
what
Sighs
passed
at
that
time
,
in
all
Companies
of
the
People
and
the
Gentry
:
and
how
they
all
cryed
with
one
Voice
,
that
this
Wretch
is
not
fit
to
be
at
all
called
an
Antoninus
.
This
Pest
violates
that
Holy
Name
.
The
Gods
Protect
us
from
all
the
like
evils
again
.
We
fear
them
not
under
your
Reign
.
We
are
secure
under
the
Government
of
your
Majesty
.
Your
Majesty
is
above
all
Vice
.
Your
Majesty
hath
surmounted
,
hath
vanquished
the
Temptation
of
all
such
Crimes
and
Disgraces
.
You
are
an
Honour
to
the
Name
of
Antoninus
.
We
are
certain
of
this
;
we
are
well
persuaded
of
it
;
we
presume
upon
it
,
without
the
fear
of
ever
repenting
ourselves
:
we
have
approved
you
from
your
Youth
,
and
this
day
,
we
are
confirmed
in
our
Sentiments
.
It
is
not
,
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
that
I
apprehend
Refuses
the
Name
my
falling
at
any
time
into
such
Vices
,
that
I
desire
to
decline
a
Name
,
which
is
to
all
so
Venerable
;
nor
yet
can
I
distrust
the
Merits
of
my
past
Life
so
,
as
to
be
ashamed
to
take
it
upon
me
.
But
it
is
in
Truth
,
because
in
the
first
place
,
I
do
not
delight
to
assume
what
is
the
Name
of
a
strange
Family
;
and
next
,
because
I
see
very
well
,
that
it
is
to
impose
too
great
a
burden
upon
me
.
For
with
as
much
reason
as
I
should
take
the
Name
of
Antoninus
,
I
might
take
that
of
Trajan
too
:
I
might
as
well
take
that
of
Titus
:
I
might
as
well
take
that
of
Vespasian
.
Your
Majesty
is
an
Augustus
,
and

that
Name
;
so
be
you
also
an
Antoninus
.
I
see
very
well
,
now
,
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
what
it
is
that
moves
you
to
press
this
Name
upon
us
.
You
think
,
that
we
may
as
well
be
called
Antonini
,
although
it
is
the
Name
of
another's
Family
,
as
all
we
who
succeed
to
the
Empire
are
entitled
in
our
Stiles
Augusti
:
which
we
are
,
because
we
have
an
hereditary
Right
to
be
so
,
as
being
as
it
were
by
Adoption
,
the
Sons
of
the
first
Augustus
,
who
was
the
Founder
of
the
Empire
.
The
Antoninusses
themselves
were
called
Augusti
.
Now
Antoninus
Pius
adopted
Marcus
and
Verus
,
to
be
his
Sons
and
Successors
.
This
Adoption
made
it
a
Right
to
them
,
to
take
his
Name
,
which
became
also
hereditary
to
Commodus
,
by
reason
that
he
was
the
Son
of
Marcus
;
but
without
this
Right
,
it
was
a
Trick
of
his
Father
,
which
put
the
Name
upon
Diadumenus
.
It
was
affected
in
the
Person
of
Caracallus
,
and
it
was
profaned
to
the
last
degree
by
Heliogabalus
.

We
congratulate
your
Modesty
,
your
Prudence
,
your

,
your

This
shews
us
what
will
be
the
excellency
of
your
Reign
.
We
are
ravish'd
at
it
.
Your
Majesty
will
direct
the

hereafter
to
make
a
Choice

I

,
I
have
obtained
from
you
,

,
what
I
desired
.
I
take
this
very
obligingly
,
and
I
give
you
,
and
owe
you
infinite
Thanks
.
It
shall
be
my

,
that
my
own
Name
,
which
I
bring
with
me
,
the
first
of
any
upon
the
Throne
of
Rome
,
may
become
such
as
not
to
be
unworthy
to

thing
of
a
greater
difficulty
to
do
,
than
it
was
to
assume
the
Name
of
Antoninus
;
to
which
if
I
had
consented
,
it
might
have
been
attributed
to
either
my
Affinity
to
the
Princes
of
that
Name
,
or
to
a
mutual
Love
of
the
same
Name
,
upon
the
same
Throne

But
why
me
,
to
take
your
Title
of
Great
?
What
have
I
yet
done
,
that
is
so
?
If
Alexander
and
Pompey
were
so
called
,
yet
it
was
after
the
great
Exploits
of
the
one
,
and
the
great
Triumphs
of
the
other
.
Therefore
speak
no
more
of
this
,
my
honoured
Fathers
,
and
rather
than
suggest
to
me
the
Title
of

carried
Towers
upon
their
backs
full
of
Archers
,

of
these
we
took

more
were

His

My

I
have
not

fit
to
Trouble
you
with
the
Command

I

being
confirmed

Command

are
capable

I
give

whom
you
may
bring
up
your self
to
your
own

Mould
them
,
Form
them
as
you
please

It
will
be
a
great
Service
to
the
State
and
to
me
,
to
teach
them
their
Arms
so
,
that
they
may
produce
many
that
is
,
many
such
good
Soldiers
as
you
.
Why
should
you
take
so
much
Pains
,
who
are
in
a
Post
to
be
preferred
to
be
a
General
when
you
please

The
Greater
I
ever
am

the
more
Pains
I
shall
take
still

What
great
Matter
is
it
for
a
Tribune
to
Throw
his
own
Soldiers
?

Shall
you
and
I
try
then
our
Strength

My

Fellow-Soldiers

you
who
are
engaged

and
who
endure
all
the
Hazards
of
the
War

me

I
am
to
acquaint
you
,
that
the
who
are
false
to
a
Proverb
,
are
now
Revolted
.
They
have
set
up
the
two
Emperors
against
me
.
One
of
them
so
Old
,
that
he
can
scarce
rise
from
his
Chair
:
the
other
so
weakned
with
his
Debauchery
,
that
he
is
as
feeble
,
as
if
he
was
as
Old
as
his
Father
.
This
is
not
all
.
That
Worthy
Senate
at
hath
approved
of
the
Fact
of
the
and
those
for
whom
,
and
for
whose
Children's
Good
after
them
,
we
carry
our
Arms
,
have
appointed
Twenty
Persons
of
the
Order
of
the
Consuls
,
to
make
Head
against
us
in
and
have
declared
us
all
Enemies
.
Now
that
which
I
say
to
you
is
,
Let
us
play

Conragiously

IT
is
a
Pleasure
to
me
to
observe
the
Alteration
of
the
Times
,
since
every
thing
was
bought
and
sold
by
the
Eunuchs
,
and
such
as
pretended
themselves
to
be
Friends
,
but
were
really
the
greatest
Enemies
to
your
Majesty
.
I
am
glad
,
that
that
Blot
is
removed
from
your
Reign
;
Your
Majesty
is
your self
also
very
glad
of
it
;
which
I
am
the
more
pleased
to
see
,
because
it
shews
,
that
howsoever
badly
Affairs
have
been
before
managed
,
the
fault
was
not
in
you
,
my
Son
.
Nor
was
it
to
your
mind
,
that
the
Commands
in
the
Army
were
disposed
of
through
the
favour
of
the
Eunuchs
;
or
that
Persons
were
denied
the
Rewards
due
to
their
Services
;
or
that
they
were
either
saved
for
Money
and
Affection
,
when
they
deserved
to
die
,
or
put
to
death
,
when
they
deserved
to
live
.
It
was
not
by
your
fault
that
the
Treasury
was
exhausted
;
but
all
these
things
lie
at
the
door
of
those
who
were
continually
Plotting
and
entring
into
Cabals
to
deceive
you
;
whereby
they
prevented
the
Access
of
Men
of
Virtue
and
Honesty
to
your
Person
,
prepossessing
you
against
such
,
and
on
the
contrary
,
insinuating
others
into
your
favour
,
as
vitious
as
themselves
,
through
whose
and
their
own
Methods
together
,
they
made
a
Prey
of
you
.
The
Gods
be
thanked
that
your
Majesty
is
sensible
of
all
this
,
and
that
you
have
taken
it
into
your
Consideration
to
Reform
the
State
.
I
am
happy
in
being
the
Father-in-Law
of
so
good
a
Prince
:
A
Prince
who
examines
into
,
and
who
will
know
all
things
,
and
who
hath
banished
from
him
those
,
by
whom
before
he
was
made
an
Auction
of
,
and
sold
to
whosoever
offered
most

appoint
who

for

with
your

It
is
certain
,
Gentlemen
,
that
in
Changes
that
are
so
sudden
as
this
,
there
is
nothing
like
Resolving
;
and
the
Counsels
,
which
offer
themselves
to
our
Thoughts
,
are
rather
to
be
immediately
executed
,
than
disputed
.
To
what
purpose
are
many
Words
,
and
fine
Speeches
,
where
Affairs
are
so
urgent
?
Let
every
one
have
a
care
of
his
own
Neck
;
and
think
upon
his
Wife
and
Children
,
and
the
Estate
which
he
inherits
from
Ancestors
.
All
which
are
under
imminent
danger
from
whose
Nature
it
is
to
be
Furious
,
Truculent
,
Barbarous
;
but
yet
his
Cause
,
which
as
he
thinks
,
is
so
Just
,
will
make
him
still
much
worse
.
He
hath
put
himself
at
the
Head
of
a
good
Body
of
Troops
,
and
fix'd
every
where
his
Garrisons

marching

you
in

Without
more
Words
,
which
there
is
no
need
of
,
a
new
Emperor

to
be
made
.
Nay
,
I
would
say
,
two
●ew
Emperors
:
one
to
look
after
the
Civil
Affairs
the
other
to
be
charged
with
those
of

so
great

,
that
he
has
ennobled
his
Birth
by
the
splendor
of
his
Valour

the
other

High
Birth

the
Lenity
of
whose
Temper
,
and
the
Excellency
of
his
Life
,
which
from
his
Youth
he
hath
bestowed
always
in
Studies
and
Letters
,
is
of
the
greatest
Consequence
to
the
State
.
You
have
my
Opinion
,
Gentlemen
,
which
is
perhaps
more
dangerous
to
my self
,
than
to
you
:
But
yet
neither
is
it
very
safe
to
you

you
make
either
some

of

are

,
and
in

share
that
you
bear
in

Receive

Censor
to
the
whole
World
,
unto
which
they
have
appointed
you
,
and
which
you
alone
deserve
to
bear
.
By
this
you
are
made
a
Judge
of
our
Manners
.
You
will
Judge
,
who
ought
to
abide
in
the
Senate
:
You
will
reduce
the
Order
unto
its
Antient
State
:
You
will
prescribe
Bounds
to
the
Revenues
of
all
.
You
will

Tribute
which
is
raised
upon
the
People
.
You
will
take
an
Account

Offices

will
have

of

Orders
of

,

of
having
your

who
are

you
,
and
to
be

your
sight

it

not

such
a
necessity

Majesty

Man
cannot
perform
it

I
beg
therefore
,
that
I
may
be
excused
from
this
Honour
:
Neither
my
Life
,
nor
my
Assurance
makes
me
suitable
for
it
:
The
Times
also
are
so
repugnant
,
that
it
is
the
Voice
of
Mankind
,
to
desire
not
to
see
a
Censorship
of
a
private
Person
of
this
Nature

that
my

all
you
yourselves

may

me

let

say
what
he
will
,
I
desire

to
have
to
do
with

rather
then
to

my
days

does
in

so
unworthily

Let
them
tell
me
of

old
Trade

so
long
as
I
can
reduce

with
the
effects
of
it

and
make
all
the

the

Neighbours
know

that
the
Romans
are
a
People
indeed
of
Iron

and
their
Swords
to
be
the
most
dreaded
of
all
things

I
would
desire
you
,
Gentlemen
,
to
observe

that
you
have
made
a
Man
your
Prince
,
who
never
knew
how
to
handle
any
thing
but
a
Sword
.
Which
I
therefore
take
notice
of
to
you
,
because
I
know
that
Gallienus

that
Pest
,
hath
nothing
to
oppose
to
me
,

My Age , as well as my Inclination , and my Business sets me far from aspiring to an Empire . I cannot deny but that I should be glad to see a good Prince in the place of Valerian . But who is there for it , unless it be such a one as you , Macrianus , who are brave , resolute , honest , tried and approved in the publick Service , and what especially concerns an Emperor to be , Rich. Take you therefore the Place which is due to your Deserts . You may command my Services as long as you please , only remember to discharge well the Duty which is imposed upon you , and then all the Roman World will rejoyce to see you made their Sovereign .
I confess , Balista , it is of consequence to have such a Prince as you have described ; and I should be willing to serve the State , in order to depose that Pest Gallienus , from the Government of it . But this is not a Work for my Age. I am Old , I cannot Ride , as I shall be obliged to do for an Example to the Soldiers . I am one that must be frequently bathing , and must eat well ; my Pleasures and my Riches have taken ●ne off of the usages of a Soldiery Life long since . You must set up rather , Two or Three stout young Men , who may distribute themselves ●nto several parts of the Empire , to restore it again to its former Splendor , which by the Mis●ortune of Valerian , and the ill Life of Gal●ineus is at present ruined .
We commit the Empire and the Government ●f it to your Prudence . You have Two brave ●oung Men of your own , Macrianus and Quie●us , who sometime since were made Tribunes by ●he Emperor Valerian . Take them to be your Colleagues in the Empire : They cannot be safe , because they are good , under Gallienus .
I submit , and as to the Soldiers , I will give them a double Pay with my own Money . Be you Balista , a careful Officer to me , and provide me Provisions in the places , where it is necessary ; and I will make Gallienus , a Man beyond any thing of a Woman loose and effeminate , to understand the Power of his Fathers Commanders .

we
have

digested
in

I
would
wish
that

add
the
things
to
them
that
you
find
relating
to

I
will
promise
to
furnish
you
with
that
Journal
,
out
of

You
will
see
,
it
contains
almost
all
things
concerning
him
;
because
it
is
a
Book
in
which
the
Occurrences
of
every
day
,
as
they
happened
,
were
set
down
by
his
own
especial
Order

So
I
would
desire
you
to
represent

to

justly
as
he
was

all
things
,
by
which
the
Happiness
of
the
Name
is
increased
.
I
give
you
therefore
for

Noble
Actions
which
you
have
done

other

of

is
the

for
so
I
appoint
you
to
be
this

I
shall
write
to
the

to
send
you
the

the

which
are
the
other
Ensigns
of
that
Dignity

I
truly
,
may
it
please
your
most
excellent
Majesty
,
have
therefore
done
and
suffered
all
that
hath
been
in
my
Power
,
and
I
have
taken
all
the
Pains
I
could
to
serve
the
States
,
on
purpose
that
I
might
oblige
it
,
and
at
the

time
discharge
a
good
Conscience
;
the
Sense
whereof
,
joyned
with
the
Thanks
of
the
State
,
is
alone
a
Reward
sufficient
for
me
.
But
your
Majesty
hath
done
much
more
,
I
give
your
Majesty
thanks
for
your
Goodness
,
and
I
accept
the
Consulship
at
your
Hands
.
The
Gods
grant
,

,
our
assured
God
the

,
that
the

may

as
kindly
of

Ulpius
Crinitus
As
it
was
antiently
a
Custom
amongst
the
best
of
our
Fore-fathers
,
to
adopt
Persons
of
Worth
and
Bravery
to
be
their
Sons
;
thereby
,
either
to
continue
their
decaying
Families
,
or
to
add
a
new
Honour
to
them
,
by
the
means
of
such
a
worthy
Alliance
;
which
hath
particularly
been
done
often
in
my
Family
,
in
the
adoption
of
the
adoption
of
the
adoption
of
and
others
since
;
so
it
is
likewise
my
desire
at
this
time
,
to
adopt
to
be
my
Son
He
is
adopted
by
of
whom
your
Majesty
in
your
Wisdom
hath
so
much
approved
,
that
you
have
made
him
my
Lieutenant
,
and
put
him
in
my
absence
,
to
command
my
Army
.
Your
Majesty
may
therefore
please
to
order
it
to
pass
into
a
Law
,
that
be
the
Heir
of
the
Name
,
Goods
,
and
all
the
Rights
of
what
kind
soever
,
of
me
according
as
your
Majesty
hath
been
pleased
to
make
him
also
a
Consul
with
me
.
Furius

Sabinus
Am
to
acquaint
you
,
that
it
is
the
suggestion
of
the
Chief
Priests
,
as
well
as
it
is
the
Order
,
by
Letter
,
of
the
Emperor
that
the
Books
of
the
in
which
the
Secrets
of
the
Destinies
are
contained
,
be
now
inspected
;
in
hopes
thence
to
discover
by
the
Holy
Will
of
the
Gods
,
a
means
of
putting
an
end
to
this
War
.
You
know
very
well
,
that
as
often
as
any
extraordinary
case
arises
,
it
is
the
Custom
always
to
Inspect
those
Books
;
nor
have
we
been
delivered
from
the
Publick
Evils
,
which
have
at
any
time
beset
us
,
but
by
following
their
Order
,
and
by
performing
such
Sacrifices
,
as
we
find
to
be
appointed
us
there
.
Ulpius
Silanus
IT
is
very
Late
,
for
us
,
at
this
day
,
to
begin
to
consult
about
the
Safety
of
the
State
;
It
is
very
late
for
us
,
now
to
Consult
the
Books
of
the
Sybils
,
when
we
know
not
what
else
to
do
;
like
some
sick
Persons
,
who
send
not
for
the
Physician
,
but
in
the
greatest
extremity
;
to
which
yet
it
is
never
good
to
trust
;
because
all
Diseases
are
the
best
taken
and
obviated
in
the
beginning
.
You
may
remember
,
Gentlemen
,
that
I
have
often
from
this
place
told
you
,
even
then
,
when
first
the
news
came
of
an
Irruption
of
the
Marcomanni
,
that
the
Decrees
of
the
Sibyls
ought
to
be
consulted
;
and
that
we
should
serve
our selves
of
the
assistances
of
Apollo
,
and
keep
to
the
Precepts
of
the
immortal
Gods
.
But
my
Motion
was
rejected
,
and
that
too
not
without
a
great
deal
of
reproach
from
some
,
who
in
flattery
to
Aurelian
answered
,
that
under
the
Conduct
of
so
brave
a
Prince
,
there
was
no
necessity
of
consulting
the
Gods
;
as
if
he
did
not
himself
revere
the
Gods
,
and
hope
for
the
success
of
his
Arms
from
their
immortal
Powers
.
In
short
,
you
have
heard
his
Letter
,
wherein
he
begs
the
Divine
assistance
,
which
it
is
never
unworthy
the
greatest
Man
to
do
:
Therefore
let
the
Priests
,
with
all
Purity
,
Cleanness
,
and
Sanctity
,
prepared
as
well
in
their
Minds
as
Habits
for
so
sacred
a
Work
,
immediately
repair
to
the
Temple
;
and
with
due
Reverence
peruse
the
Holy
Books
,
and
examine
what
is
the
eternal
will
of
the
Fates
;
and
we
,
on
our
parts
,
shall
not
be
wanting
to
perform
the
Sacrifices
,
and
observe
the
Solemnity
,
which
the
Gods
require
of
us

WELL
had
the

Gods
consulted
the
Happiness
of

,
had
they
made
the
Persons

good
Men
invulnerable
;
that
such
as
meditate
base
Murder
in
their
wicked
Hearts
,
could
have
had
no
Power
to
hurt
them
.
Then
had
we
enjoyed
our
Emperor
Aurelian
longer
,
who
was
one
of
the
greatest
use
to
our
State
;
which
after
the
misfortunes
of
Valerina
,
and
the
Luxury
of
Gallienus
,
began
to
take
breath
again
indeed
under
the
Reign
of
Claudius
;
but
it
had
been
perfectly
restored
to
its
pristine
form
by
Aurelian
,
had
he
lived
,
because
Victory
every
where
waited
upon
his
Arms.
He
re-possessed
us
of
Gallia
;
he
delivered
Italy
from
the
Invasion
of
the
Marcomanni
;
he
rescued
Ausburgh
from
the
Barbarian
Yoke
;
he
recovered
Illyricum
and
Thrace
to
the
obedience
of
the
Romans
;
he
recovered
the
East
to
our
obedience
,
which
was
shamefully
before
oppressed
and
held
against
us
by
a
Woman
.
The
Persians
,
while
yet
insulting
in
the
Death
of
Valerian
,
he
vanquished
,
put
them
to
flight
,
and
inslaved
them
.

,

,

,

,
the

,
and
even
the

adored
him
almost
as
a
God
upon
Earth
.
The
Capitol
is
enrich'd
with
his
Presents
,
and
the
things
which
he
gained
from
the
Barbarian
Nations
.
Fifteen

weight
of

,
of
his
Liberality
,
lies
all
in

.
All

shine
by
his

.
Wherefore
,
Gentlemen
,
may
I
not
justly
expostulate
with
the
Gods
,
why
they
have
permitted
the
Massacre
of
such
a
Prince
;
unless
it
is
perhaps
,
that
they
would
rather
have
him
in
their
own
Number
?
I
for
my
part
vote
him
a
God
,
and
I
presume
,
that
all
you
will
do
the
same
.
But
as
for
the
Election
of
another
Emperor
,
it
is
a
Matter
in
my
Opinion
,
to
be
referred
back
to
the
Army
again
.
For
unless
it
were
certain
that
the
Person
elected
by
us
will
be
by
them
accepted
,
it
will
both
be
dangerous
to
the
elected
,
and
bring
an
envy
upon
his
Friends
.

is

is
bought

〈…〉
Far
be
it
that
we
should
weigh
Gold
against
Thread
There
is
a
greater
Stock
of
Gold
in
Nature
,
than
there
is
of
Silver
;
but
the
quantity
of
the
Gold
in
passing
into
the
several
uses
which
it
does
,
in
Leaves
and
Thred
,
and
Meltings
,
perishes
more
than
the
Silver
,
and
is
more
lavished
.
If
we
find
the
People
of
Wine
,
it
only
remains
next
that
we
give
them

Aurelian
Munificence
of
of
six
Months
Curia
Pompiliana
,
Velius
Cornificius
Gordianus
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
What
we
have
often
referred
to
you
already
,
we
must
now
do
it
again
,
to
choose
an
Emperor
;
without
whom
,
the
Army
cannot
well
subsist
longer
,
and
there
is
a
Necessity
which
obliges
us
to
it
besides
.
For
the
Germans
have
broken
into
the
Quarter
on
the
side
of
the
Rhine
,
and
have
possessed
themselves
there
of
Strong
,
Noble
,
Rich
,
and
Powerful
Cities
.
And
though
there
is
nothing
mentioned
of
any
Motions
of
the
Persians
,
yet
you
may
easily
imagine
,
how
light
the
Minds
of
the
Syrians
are
,
when
rather
than
suffer
our
Government
,
which
is
so
Just
,
they
have
desired
Women
to
Reign
over
them
.
What
shall
I
say
to
you
of
Africa
,
of
Illyricum
,
of
Aegypt
,
and
the
Armies
in
all
those
Parts
?
How
long
do
you
think
can
they
subsist
without
an
Emperor
?
Wherefore
,
Gentlemen
,
go
now
about
it
,
and
Name
one
:
Either
the
Army
will
Accept
him
whom
you
shall
choose
,
or
themselves
will
choose
some
other
,
if
they
refuse
him
.
Tacit
〈…〉
We
Salute
Tacitus
,
our
Emperor
.
The
Gods
save
you
.
We
Choose
you
.
We
make
you
our
Prince
;
We
commit
the
Care
of
the
State
and
of
the
World
to
you
.
Take
the
Empire
,
given
you
by
the
Authority
of
the
Senate
.
Your
Place
,
your
Life
,
your
good
Intentions
deserve
it
.
The
Prince
of
the
Senate
is
very
justly
to
be
created
the
Soveraign
.
The
Senator
of
the
First
Voice
is
deservedly
preferred
to
be
Emperor
.
And
who
is
better
to
Reign
,
than
a
Person
of
Gravity
as
you
are
?
Who
is
better
to
Govern
,
than
one
that
is
so
knowing
as
you
?
We
think
it
is
an
Happiness
and
an
Excellency
in
you
to
be
Congratulated
,
That
you
have
been
long
a
Private
Person
.
You
,
who
have
gone
through
the
Reigns
of
other
Princes
,
know
how
to
Reign
your self
.
You
know
very
well
how
to
Command
,
who
have
observed
and
judged
of
the
Government
of
others
before
you
.
I
am
astonished
,
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
That
in
the
Place
of
the
most
Valiant
Aurelian
,
you
are
willing
to
make
such
an
Old
Man
Emperor
.
How
am
I
fit
,
with
these
Limbs
which
you
behold
,
to
manage
the
Dart
and
the
Spear
,
and
to
rattle
it
in
Armour
,
and
to
be
often
riding
in
exact
Form
for
an
Example
to
the
Soldiers
.
Scarce
can
I
fulfil
the
Duties
of
the
Senate
;
I
am
hardly
able
to
do
that
,
to
which
my
particular
Place
confines
me
.
Consider
then
more
carefully
,
what
an
advanced
Age
you
take
out
of
the
Chamber
and
the
Shade
,
to
send
it
into
Frosts
and
Heats
?
Can
you
believe
,
that
the
Army
will
approve
of
an
Old
Man
to
be
at
the
Head
of
them
?
Think
upon
some
other
,
who
will
better
answer
the
Expectations
which
you
have
of
him
,
and
let
me
be
contented
in
a
Private
Life
with
this
,
That
you
have
unanimously
Loved
me
.
came
pretty
Old
to
the
Empire
.
came
Old
to
the
Empire
the
Pious
,
came
an
Old
Man
to
the
Empire
.
You
remember
that
of
— — Incanaque menta
The
Hoary
Head
of
a
King
of
the
Who
Governs
better
than
a
Man
of
Years
?
We
make
you
an
Emperor
,
not
a
Soldier
.
Give
the
Word
only
,
and
the
Soldiers
will
Fight
it
out
.
You
are
Prudent
,
and
you
have
a
good
Brother
living
with
you
.
It
is
the
Head
that
Governs
,
and
not
the
Feet
,
Septimius
Severus
We
choose
you
for
your
Parts
of
Mind
,
and
not
of
Body
.
The
Gods
save
you
,
our
Emperor
Moecius
Falconius
Nicomachus
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
This
most
Noble
House
hath
ever
rightly
and
prudently
consulted
the
Good
of
the
State
:
Nor
is
there
any
Nation
upon
the
Earth
,
from
whom
one
ought
to
expect
a
greater
share
of
solid
Wisdom
,
than
from
you
.
But
yet
I
must
say
,
That
of
,
all
the
Instances
of
your
Wisdom
,
there
never
was
a
Determination
pass'd
by
you
,
more
Grave
and
more
Judicious
,
than
what
hath
been
done
in
this
present
Assembly
.
We
have
chosen
a
Person
of
an
advanced
Age
to
be
our
Prince
,
and
one
who
may
consult
the
Good
of
us
all
as
a
Father
.
Nothing
from
him
that
is
immature
,
that
is
unadvised
,
that
is
ill
,
is
to
be
feared
.
We
may
promise
our selves
a
Reign
of
all
Sobriety
,
all
Gravity
,
and
as
the
State
would
in
a
manner
have
it
.
For
he
knows
,
what
a
Prince
he
hath
always
wished
to
himself
to
have
;
and
he
cannot
give
us
a
different
one
in
his
own
Person
,
from
what
he
hath
desired
to
find
in
another
.
Certainly
if
we
will
reflect
upon
those
Prodigies
of
ill
Princes
of
the
Antient
Times
,
I
mean
the
Nero's
,
the
Heliogabalus's
,
and
the
Commodus's
,
it
will
appear
,
that
their
Crimes
were
not
more
the
Vices
of
the
Men
,
than
the
Vices
of
their
Age.
The
Gods
defend
us
from
having
Boys
to
be
our
Sovereigns
,
and
Children
to
be
called
the
Fathers
of
our
Country
;
who
must
have
Masters
to
hold
their
Hands
when
they
Sign
their
Orders
,
and
will
be
invited
to
make
Persons
Consuls
,
by
the
Sugar-plumbs
and
the
Cakes
,
and
every
Childish
Pleasure
that
is
given
them
.
What
Reason
,
I
pray
,
is
there
to
have
an
Emperor
,
who
does
not
know
how
to
take
the
care
of
his
Reputation
?
who
does
not
understand
what
a
State
is
;
that
fears
his
Educator
,
is
Commanded
by
his
Nurse
,
and
lies
under
the
Magisterial
Lash
and
Terror
of
the
Hands
of
his
Master
?
What
Consuls
,
what
Commanders
,
what
Magistrates
is
he
like
to
give
us
,
when
as
to
the
Lives
,
Merits
,
Ages
,
Families
and
Actions
of
the
Persons
whom
he
prefers
,
truly
be
understands
nothing
at
all
of
them
?
But
why
am
I
here
drawn
to
bestow
,
Gentlemen
,
so
many
words
upon
this
subject
?
Let
us
rather
Congratulate
the
choice
,
which
we
have
made
of
a
Prince
,
who
is
a
Man
of
Years
,
than
to
iterate
those
things
that
have
been
beyond
measure
deplorable
to
the
Persons
that
have
suffered
under
them
.
I
give
therefore
my
repeated
Thanks
to
the
Immortal
Gods
for
this
Choice
.
I
offer
the
same
likewise
in
the
Name
of
the
whole
State
.
And
to
you
,
Tacitus
,
our
Emperor
,
I
turn
my self
to
beg
of
you
,
to
beseech
you
,
to
intreat
you
,
generously
in
the
behalf
of
our
Common
Country
,
that
if
it
shall
be
the
Will
of
the
Fates
that
you
die
whilst
your
own
Sons
are
yet
but
young
,
you
would
not
make
those
Children
Heirs
,
after
you
,
of
the
Roman
Empire
;
nor
in
such
a
nature
leave
this
State
,
this
Senate
,
and
the
People
of
Rome
,
as
if
the
first
was
no
more
than
your
Villa
,
and
we
all
your
Tenants
and
your
Slaves
.
Consider
very
well
,
and
imitate
the
Examples
of
Nerva
,
Trajan
,
and
Hadrian
.
It
is
a
great
honour
in
a
dying
Prince
,
to
love
his
Country
more
than
his
Issue
.
We
All
,
All
,
say
the
same
Field
of
Mars
Aelius
Cesetianus
Gentlemen-Soldiers
,
and
you
the
good
Citizens
and
Commons
of
You
have
here
the
Prince
,
whom
by
the
consent
of
all
the
Armies
,
the
Senate
hath
made
choice
of
to
fill
the
Throne
.
The
most
Noble
I
say
;
who
,
as
he
hath
hitherto
assisted
by
his
Suffrages
to
the
good
of
the
Senate
,
so
he
is
now
chosen
to
do
the
same
by
his
Command
and
Consultations
.
All
Happiness
to
the
Emperor
The
Gods
save
your
Majesty
Maesius
Gallicanus
My
very
good
Fellow-Soldiers
,
The
Senate
hath
given
you
the
Prince
whom
you
desired
.
That
most
Noble
House
hath
readily
comply'd
with
the
Will
of
the
Camp
.
It
is
not
for
me
to
say
more
to
you
,
in
the
presence
of
the
Emperor
himself
.
Therefore
hear
him
,
who
is
our
Master
,
attentively
,
whilst
he
speaks
to
you
.
When
Trajan
came
to
the
Empire
,
it
is
true
,
he
was
pretty
well
in
Years
,
and
he
was
appointed
by
only
one
Person
neither
.
But
as
for
my self
,
in
the
first
place
,
you
my
excellent
Fellow
Soldiers
,
who
know
what
Princes
you
do
approve
of
,
and
in
the
next
,
the
most
Honourable
the
Senate
hath
adjudged
me
to
this
Place
.
It
shall
be
my
care
,
I
will
make
it
my
endeavour
and
my
business
,
to
furnish
you
,
if
not
with
great
Atchievements
,
yet
at
least
with
Counsels
worthy
of
you
and
your
Emperor
.
Fathers
of
the
Senate
,
So
let
me
ever
in
such
a
manner
Govern
the
Empire
,
as
that
I
may
appear
to
owe
my
Election
to
you
,
by
whose
Advice
and
Authority
I
have
resolved
to
do
all
things
.
You
will
therefore
please
to
Command
and
to
Enjoyn
me
,
what
you
think
to
be
for
the
Common
good
of
your selves
,
the
Army
,
and
the
People
of
The
Senate
knows
whom
they
have
made
their
Prince

We
thank
you

that
you
have
undertaken

Defend

We
may
well
commit
our selves
to
you

who
have
already
preserved
us

A
Conqueror
of

you
are
all

always
have
been
worthy

THanks
to
the
Immortal
Gods
,
and
above
the
rest
to
the
most
excellent
Jupiter
,
who
hath
given
us
such
a
Prince
,
as
we
have
ever
wisht
to
enjoy
.
If
we
consider
it
well
,
we
have
no
want
now
of
either
Aurelian
,
or
Alexander
Severus
,
or
the
Antoninusses
or
Trajan
,
or
Claudius
.
We
have
all
things
,
and
all
their
Virtues
in
this
one
Prince
.
The
knowledge
of
War
,
Clemency
,
a
good
Life
,
an
exemplar
of
a
Patriot
,
and
Bravery
to
the
highest
Perfection
.
What
part
of
the
World
is
there
,
to
which
he
hath
not
made
known
his
Victorious
Arms
?
witness
the
Marmoricans
in
Africk
,
vanquished
by
him
;
witness
the
Franks
,
whom
he
hath
overthrown
in
their
own
unpassable
Fens
;
witness
the
Germans
and
the
Almains
;
whom
how
far
hath
he
repulsed
from
the
Banks
of
the
Rhine
?
What
shall
I
say
more
of
the
Sarmatians
,
the
Goths
,
the
Parthians
,
and
all
the
Country
upon
the
Euxine
?
Every
where
do
the
Trophies
of
the
Valour
of
Probus
flourish
.
It
would
be
too
long
to
tell
how
many
Kings
of
great
Nations
hath
he
put
to
flight
?
What
Captains
hath
he
killed
with
his
own
hand
?
What
numbers
of
Arms
hath
he
taken
in
his
time
?
The
Letters
of
our
Emperors
which
are
upon
the
Records
,
shew
what
Publick
thanks
,
he
hath
received
from
all
those
for
his
signal
Services
.
My
good
Gods
!
How
many
times
hath
be
been
crowned
with
the
Military
rewards
?
What
Elogiums
hath
he
had
from
the
Soldiers
?
Whilst
he
was
but
a
Youth
,
he
was
a
Tribune
of
the
Auxiliaries
;
and
not
long
after
,
he
was
made
the
same
in
the
Roman
Legions
.
Wherefore
,
thou
most
excellent
and
most
powerful
Jupiter
,
and
Juno
the
Queen
,
and
thou
Minerva
the
President
of

,
and
thou
the
Goddess
Concord
,
and
the
Goddess
Victory
,
grant
ye
this
Favour
to
the
Senate
and
People
of
Rome
,
to
our
Allies
,
and
to
Foreign
Nations
,
that
Probus
may
Reign
as
Happily
,
as
he
hath
served
.
I
,
Gentlemen
,
with
all
your
Consents
,
do
Decree
to
him
the
Style
and
Title
of
our
Caesar
and
our
Emperor
;
and
I
add
thereto
the
Proconsular
Power
,
the
Honour
of
the
Title
of
Father
of

,
the
Soveraign
Pontificate
,

I
Give
thanks
to
the

that
they
have
approved
and
justified
your
Judgements
,
in
your
Choice
of
me
:
all
that

Country
of
is
subjugated

Nine
Kings
of
the
several
Nations
have
in
the
humblest
manner
cast
themselves
at
my
Feet
.
Nay
rather
,
I
should
say
,
it
is
at
your
Feet
.
They
all
now
Plow
,
and
Sow
for
you
;
and
they
fight
for
you
against
the
rest
of
your
Enemies

You
will
therefore
appoint
the
Processions
and
Thanksgivings
to
the

as
usual

Four
hundred
thousand
of
the
Enemy
are
slain
;
and
sixteen
thousand
others
,
with
their
Arms
,
are
come
into
our
Service

Sixty
Noble
Cities
are
recovered
out
of
the
Slavery
of
the
Enemy
,

all
is
entirely
set
at
Liberty

The

all

me
with

I
have

All
the

which
they

better
