ὄντος δὲ ἐν τούτοις αὐτοῦ, κοινῇ ψήφῳ βασιλεύς τε καὶ ἡ γερουσία στρατηγὸν ἐπὶ τῷ κατὰ Γαΐνην αἱροῦνται πολέμῳ Φράουιττον, ἄνδρα βάρβαρον μὲν τὸ γένος, Ἕλληνα δὲ ἄλλως οὐ τρόπῳ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ προαιρέσει καὶ τῇ περὶ τὰ θεῖα θρησκείᾳ. τούτῳ τοίνυν ἤδη πολλαῖς διαπρέψαντι στρατηγίαις, καὶ τὴν ἑῴαν ἅπασαν ἀπὸ Κιλικίας ἄχρι Φοινίκης καὶ Παλαιστίνης τῆς ἀπὸ τῶν λῃστῶν λύμης ἐλευθερώσαντι, παραδεδώκασι τὰς δυνάμεις.
