Ἐλέγετο δὲ ταύτην αὐτῷ καττύσαι τὴν τελευτὴν διὰ τῶν θαλαμηπόλων εὐνούχων, ἄλλους τέ τινας τῶν εἰς τὰ βασίλεια, καὶ Ἀρβογάστην τὸν ἐπὶ τῶν αὐτοῦ στρατευμάτων τεταγμένον: καθότι πατρώζοντα τὸν νέον εὑρὼν περὶ τὴν ἀρχὴν, καὶ πρὸς πολλὰ τῶν ἐκείνοις δοκούντων χαλεπαίνοντα. Οἱ δὲ αὐτὸν ἡγοῦνται αὐτόχειρα ἑαυτοῦ γενέσθαι, ὡς ἐπιχειροῦντα τισὶν οὐ δέον ἐν τῷ ζέοντι τῆς ἡλικίας, καὶ κωλυόμενον: καὶ τούτου χάριν οὐ καταξιώσαντα ζῆν, ὅτι βασιλεύων μὴ συγχωροῖτο ποιεῖν ἃ βούλεται.
