[93]
huius autem praeclari imperatoris ita erat severa domi
disciplina ut in re tanta et tam gravi nuntio nemo admitteretur,
nemo esset qui auderet aut dormientem excitare aut
interpellare vigilantem. iam vero re ab omnibus cognita
concursabat urbe tota maxima multitudo. non enim, sicut
erat antea semper1 consuetudo, praedonum adventum significabat
ignis e specula sublatus aut tumulo, sed flamma ex
ipso incendio navium et calamitatem acceptam et periculum
reliquum nuntiabat.cum praetor quaereretur et constaret
neminem ei nuntiasse, fit ad domum eius cum clamore
concursus atque impetus.
