ταῦτα γνοὺς Μαξιμιανὸς ὁ Ἑρκούλιος, καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ παιδὸς εἰκότως ἀγωνιῶν Μαξεντίου, τῆς Λουκανίας, ἐν ᾗ τότε ἦν, ἐξορμήσας ἐπὶ τὴν Ῥάουενναν ᾔει. συνιδὼν δὲ ὡς οὐκ ἂν ἄκων ταύτης ἐκβληθείη Σεβῆρος ἀσφαλοῦς τε οὔσης καὶ τροφὰς ἐχούσης ἀρκούσας, ὅρκοις ἀπατήσας ἐπὶ τὴν Ῥώμην ἐλθεῖν ἔπεισεν. διιόντα τοίνυν αὐτὸν καὶ εἴς τι χωρίον ἐλθόντα ᾧ Τρία καπηλεῖα προσηγορία, λόχος ἐγκαταστὰς αὐτόθι παρὰ Μαξεντίου, συλλαβὼν καὶ βρόχῳ τὸν τράχηλον ἀρτήσας ἀνεῖλεν.
