Credimus (neque enim dubium est) per aerios tramites Famam praepetem volitare, cuius indicio haec gesta pandente, consiliorum apud Persas summa proponebatur ; et multis ultro citroque deliberatis, placuit Antonino suadente, ut Ursicino procul amoto, despectoque duce novello, posthabitis civitatum perniciosis obsidiis, perrumperetur Euphrates, ireturque prorsus, ut occupari possint provinciae, fama celeritate praeventa, omnibus ante bellis (nisi temporibus Gallieni,) intactae, paceque longissima locupletes, cuius rei prosperante deo ductorem commodissimum fore spondebat.
