Hinc ille commotus, ut iniusta perferens et indigna, praefecti custodiam protectoribus mandaverat fidis. Quo conperto Montius tune quaestor, acer quidem sed ad lenitatem propensior, consulens in commune, advocatos palatinarum primos scholarum allocutus est mollius, docens nec decere haec fieri nec prodesse, addensque vocis obiurgatorio sonu, quod si id placuerit, post statuas Constantii deiectas, super adimenda vita praefecto conveniet securius cogitari.
