“3. σημεῖα δὲ αὐτῷ ἐξ ὧν τὴν ἡγεμονίαν ἤλπισε, ταῦτα ἐγένετο. ὅτε γὰρ ἐς τὸ βουλευτήριον ἐσεγράφη, ὄναρ ἔδοξε λύκαινάν τινα κατὰ ταὐτὰ [p. 166] τῷ Ῥωμύλῳ θηλάζειν. μέλλοντί τε αὐτῷ τὴν Ἰουλίαν ἄγεσθαι ἡ Φαυστῖνα ἡ τοῦ Μάρκου γυνὴ τὸν θάλαμόν σφισιν ἐν τῷ Ἀφροδισίῳ τῷ [2] κατὰ τὸ παλάτιον παρεσκεύασεν. ὕδωρ τε ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῷ καθεύδοντί ποτε, ὥσπερ ἐκ πηγῆς, ἀνεδόθη. καὶ ἐν Λουγδούνῳ ἄρχοντι πᾶσα αὐτῷ ἡ τῶν Ῥωμαίων δύναμις προσῆλθέ τε καὶ ἠσπάσατο, ὄναρ φημί. καὶ ἄλλοτε ἀνήχθη ἐς περιωπὴν ὑπό τινος, καὶ καθορῶν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς πᾶσαν μὲν τὴν γῆν πᾶσαν δὲ τὴν θάλατταν ἐφήπτετο αὐτῶν ὥσπερ παναρμονίου τινὸς ὀργάνου, [3] καὶ ἐκεῖνα συνεφθέγγετο. καὶ αὖθις ἵππον ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ τῇ Ῥωμαίᾳ τὸν μὲν Περτίνακα ἀναβεβηκότα 1 ἀπορρῖψαι, ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἑκόντα ἀναλαβεῖν ἐνόμισε. ταῦτα μὲν ἐκ τῶν ὀνειράτων ἔμαθεν, ὕπαρ δὲ ἐς 2 τὸν βασιλικὸν δίφρον ἔφηβος ὢν ἔτι ἀγνοίᾳ ἐνιδρύθη. 3 τὴν μὲν οὖν ἡγεμονίαν μετὰ τῶν ἄλλων καὶ ταῦτα αὐτῷ προεδήλωσε. ”
