Τῆς δὲ τῶν ὅλων ἀρχῆς εἰς Ἀρκάδιον καὶ Ὁνώριον περιστάσης ἄχρι μὲν ὀνόματος ἐδόκουν ἔχειν τὸ κράτος, ἡ δὲ πᾶσα τῆς ἀρχῆς δύναμις ἦν κατὰ μὲν τὴν ἑῴαν παρὰ Ῥουφίνῳ, κατὰ δὲ τὴν ἑσπέραν ἐν τῇ Στελίχωνος γνώμῃ. δίκαι τε πᾶσαι παῤ αὐτοῖς κατ̓ ἐξουσίαν ἐκρίνοντο, καὶ ἀπῄει κεκρατηκὼς ὁ χρημάτων τὴν ψῆφον ὠνούμενος ἢ ἄλλως οἰκειότητι τὴν τοῦ δικάζοντος ἐπισπώμενος εὔνοιαν.
