τῶν δὲ Σκυθῶν ὅσον ἦν τῆς Εὐρώπης ἐν ἀδείᾳ πολλῇ νεμομένων, ἤδη δὲ καὶ διαβάντων εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν καὶ τὰ μέχρι Καππαδοκίας καὶ Πισινοῦντος καὶ Ἐφέσου λῃσαμένων, Αἰμιλιανὸς Παιονικῶν ἡγούμενος τάξεων, ἀτόλμους ὄντας τοὺς ὑφ̓ ἑαυτὸν στρατιώτας ἀντιστῆναι τῇ τῶν βαρβάρων εὐημερίᾳ παραθαρσύνας ὡς οἷός τε ἦν, καὶ τοῦ Ῥωμαίων ἀξιώματος ἀναμνήσας, ἐπῄει τοῖς εὑρεθεῖσιν ἐκεῖσε βαρβάροις ἀπροσδοκήτως.
