οὔτε γὰρ ἀρχῆς ἢ ἀξίας δεῖσθαι τὸν βάρβαρον, οὔτε τὰς πρότερον ἐπαρχίας ἔτι πρὸς οἴκησιν βούλεσθαι καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος λαβεῖν, ἀλλὰ μόνους ἄμφω Νωρικούς, ἐν ταῖς ἐσχατιαῖς που τοῦ Ἴστρου κειμένους, συνεχεῖς τε ὑφισταμένους ἐφόδους καὶ εὐτελῆ φόρον τῷ δημοσίῳ εἰσφέροντας, καὶ σῖτον ἐπὶ τούτοις ἔτους ἑκάστου τοσοῦτον ὅσον ἀρκεῖν ὁ βασιλεὺς οἰηθείη. συγχωρεῖν δὲ καὶ τὸ χρυσίον, εἶναί τε φιλίαν καὶ ὁμαιχμίαν αὐτῷ καὶ Ῥωμαίοις κατὰ παντὸς αἴροντος ὅπλα καὶ πρὸς πόλεμον κατὰ τῆς βασιλείας ἐγειρομένου.
