Κόμμοδον διαχρήσασθαι. ἀλλὰ προδοσίας γενομένης, καὶ τινῶν τῶν σὺν αὐτῷ προκατελθόντων ἐς τὴν πόλιν καὶ τὴν ἐπιβουλὴν κατειπόντων ʽφθόνος γὰρ αὐτοὺς ἐς τοῦτο παρώξυνεν, εἰ δὴ ἔμελλον ἀντὶ λῃστοῦ δεσπότην ἕξειν καὶ βασιλέἀ, πρὶν ἐλθεῖν τὴν ἑορτὴν αὐτός τε ὁ Μάτερνος συλληφθεὶς τὴν κεφαλὴν ἀπετμήθη καὶ οἱ συνωμόται ἀξίας ὑπέσχον δίκας. ὁ δὲ Κόμμοδος θύσας τε τῇ θεῷ καὶ χαριστήρια: ὁμολογήσας τὴν ἑορτὴν ἐπετέλει, παρέπεμπέ τε τὴν θεὸν χαίρων. καὶ σωτήρια τοῦ βασιλέως ὁ δῆμος μετὰ τῆς ἑορτῆς ἐπανηγύριζεν.
