31. ταῦτα μὲν ὕστερον ἔπραξε, τότε δὲ σωθεὶς τὰς διαθήκας ἐσήνεγκε μὲν ἐς τὸ συνέδριον καὶ ἀναλέξασθαι ἠθέλησεν, ἐνδεικνύμενος 1 τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ὅτι οὐδένα τῆς ἀρχῆς διάδοχον καταλελοιπὼς ἦν, οὐ μέντοι καὶ ἀνέγνω: οὐδεὶς γὰρ [2] ἐπέτρεψεν. ἐθαύμαζον μέντοι καὶ πάνυ πάντες αὐτοῦ ὅτι τὸν Μάρκελλον καὶ ὡς γαμβρὸν καὶ ὡς ἀδελφιδοῦν ἀγαπῶν, καὶ ἄλλας τε αὐτῷ τιμὰς διδοὺς καὶ τὴν ἑορτὴν ἣν ἐκ τῆς ἀγορανομίας [3] ἐπετέλει συνδιαθεὶς λαμπρῶς, ὥστε τήν τε ἀγορὰν ἐν παντὶ τῷ θέρει 2 παραπετάσμασι κατὰ κορυφὴν διαλαβεῖν καὶ ὀρχηστήν τινα ἱππέα γυναῖκά τε ἐπιφανῆ ἐς τὴν ὀρχήστραν ἐσαγαγεῖν, ὅμως τὴν μοναρχίαν οὐκ ἐπίστευσεν, ἀλλὰ καὶ [4] τὸν Ἀγρίππαν αὐτοῦ προετίμησεν. οὕτως, ὡς ἔοικεν, οὐδέπω τῇ τοῦ μειρακίου γνώμῃ ἐθάρσει, [p. 274] ἀλλ᾽ ἤτοι τὸν δῆμον τὴν ἐλευθερίαν κομίσασθαι ἢ καὶ τὸν Ἀγρίππαν τὴν ἡγεμονίαν παρ᾽ ἐκείνου λαβεῖν ἠθέλησεν: εὖ τε γὰρ ἠπίστατο προσφιλῆ σφισιν ἐς τὰ μάλιστα αὐτὸν ὄντα, καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ δὴ δοκεῖν αὐτὴν ἐπιτρέπεσθαι.
