“5. καὶ ἐπὶ τούτοις καὶ ὑπὸ τῆς βουλῆς ἐθανατώθη ὁ Μεσσάλας ὁ Σίλιος ὅ τε Βάσσος ὁ Πομπώνιος, ἐγκλήματα λαβόντες ὅτι 1 τοῖς [2] πραττομένοις ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἠρέσκοντο. τοῦτο γὰρ οὐδὲ τῇ βουλῇ γράψαι περὶ αὐτῶν ὤκνησεν, ἐξεταστάς τε αὐτοὺς τοῦ ἑαυτοῦ βίου καὶ ἐπιτιμητὰς τῶν ἐν τῷ παλατίῳ δρωμένων εἰπὼν εἶναι: ‘τὰς γάρ τοι τῆς ἐπιβουλῆς δῆθεν αὐτῶν ἀποδείξεις οὐκ ἔπεμψα ὑμῖν,’ ἔφη, ‘ὅτι μάτην ἀναγνωσθήσεσθαι ἔμελλον ἤδη σφῶν τεθνηκότων.’ [3] ὑπῆν δέ τι καὶ ἕτερον αἰτίαμα πρὸς Μεσσάλαν, ὅτι πολλὰ ἐρρωμένως ἐν τῷ συνεδρίῳ ἀπεφαίνετο: διόπερ καὶ κατ᾽ ἀρχὰς αὐτὸν ἐς τὴν Συρίαν, ὡς καὶ πάνυ τι αὐτοῦ δεόμενος, μετεπέμψατο, ὅπως μὴ καὶ καθηγεμὼν αὐτῇ ἀλλοδοξίας γένηται. [4] τῷ δὲ δὴ Βάσσῳ, ὅτι γυναῖκα καὶ εὐπρεπῆ καὶ εὐγενῆ εἶχεν: τοῦ τε γὰρ Σεουήρου τοῦ 2 Κλαυδίου καὶ τοῦ Ἀντωνίνου τοῦ Μάρκου ἀπόγονος ἦν. ἀμέλει καὶ ἔγημεν αὐτήν, μηδὲ ἐκθρηνῆσαι [5] τὴν συμφορὰν ἐπιτρέψας. καὶ περὶ μὲν τῶν γάμων αὐτοῦ, ὧν τε ἐγάμει ὧν τε ἐγήματο, αὐτίκα λελέξεται: καὶ γὰρ ἠνδρίζετο καὶ ἐθηλύνετο καὶ [p. 450] ἔπραττεν καὶ ἔπασχεν ἑκάτερα ἀσελγέστατα ... %5δὲ δὴ δυς1 ... περὶ αὐτ.
