ἐπὶ τούτοις δὴ ὁ Νίγρος πάνυ τὴν ψυχὴν εὐφραίνετο, ὠχυρῶσθαί τε αὑτῷ τὰ τῆς ἀρχῆς ἡγεῖτο διά τε τὴν τῶν Ῥωμαίων γνώμην καὶ τὴν περὶ αὐτὸν σπουδὴν τῶν ἀνθρώπων. ὡς γὰρ διιπταμένη ἡ φήμη πάντα ἐπῆλθεν ἔθνη ὅσα τὴν ἀντικειμένην ἤπειρον τῇ Εὐρώπῃ κατοικεῖ, οὐδείς τε ἦν ὃς οὐχ ἑκὼν ἐς τὸ ὑπακούειν αὐτῷ ἠπείγετο, πρεσβεῖαί τε ἀπ̓ ἐκείνων τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐς τὴν Ἀντιόχειαν ὡς πρὸς βασιλέα ὁμολογούμενον
