Quibus auditis, Accepi inquit, olim hoc dictum imperator relatione multorum, sed abi securus ad lares exutus omni metu clementia principis, qui (ut prudens definivit) inimicorum minuere numerum augereque amicorum sponte sua contendit ac libens. Exinde sacrorum perfecto ritu digresso, offeruntur rectoris Aegypti scripta, Apim bovem operosa quaesitum industria, tandem post tempus inveniri potuisse firmantis, quod (ut earum regionum existimant incolae) faustum, et ubertatem frugum diversaque indicans bona.
