Μαγνέντιος μὲν οὖν τοῦτον ἀνῃρέθη τὸν τρόπον, ἔτη βασιλεύσας τρία καὶ μῆνας ἔτι πρὸς τούτοις ἕξ, γένος μὲν ἕλκων ἀπὸ βαρβάρων, μετοικήσας δὲ εἰς Λετούς, ἔθνος Γαλατικόν, παιδείας τε τῆς Λατίνων μετασχών, ἐν μὲν τοῖς πλεονεκτήμασι τῆς τύχης θρασύς, δειλὸς δὲ ἐν ταῖς περιστάσεσι, τὴν ἐνοῦσαν αὐτῷ φύσει κακοήθειαν κρύψαι δεινὸς καὶ τοῖς ἀγνοοῦσι τὸν αὐτοῦ τρόπον εὐήθης εἶναι καὶ χρηστὸς νομιζόμενος.
