Τῶν δὲ πραγμάτων διὰ τὴν Φιλίππου περὶ πάντα ἐκμέλειαν ταραχῆς πληρωθέντων, Σκύθαι τὸν Τάναϊν διαβάντες ἐλῄζοντο τὰ περὶ τὴν Θρᾴκην χωρία: οἷς ἐπεξελθὼν Δέκιος καὶ ἐν πάσαις κρατήσας ταῖς μάχαις, παρελόμενος δὲ καὶ τῆς λείας ἣν ἔτυχον εἰληφότες, ἀποκλείειν αὐτοῖς ἐπειρᾶτο τὴν οἴκαδε ἀναχώρησιν, διαφθεῖραι πανωλεθρίᾳ διανοούμενος, ὡς ἂν μὴ καὶ αὖθις ἑαυτοὺς συναγαγόντες ἐπέλθοιεν.
