“18. γεγόνασι δὲ καὶ ἄλλοι τότε ἄριστοι ἄνδρες, ὧν ἐπιφανέστατοι Τούρβων τε καὶ Σίμιλις ἤστην, οἳ καὶ ἀνδριᾶσιν ἐτιμήθησαν, Τούρβων μὲν στρατηγικώτατος ἀνήρ, ὃς καὶ ἔπαρχος γεγονώς, εἴτ᾽ οὖν ἄρχων τῶν δορυφόρων, οὔτε τι ἁβρὸν οὔτε τι ὑπερήφανον ἔπραξεν, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς [2] εἷς τῶν πολλῶν διεβίω. τά τε γὰρ ἄλλα καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν πᾶσαν πρὸς τῷ βασιλείῳ 1 διέτριβε, καὶ πολλάκις καὶ πρὸ μέσων νυκτῶν πρὸς αὐτὸ 2 ᾔει, ὅτε τινὲς τῶν ἄλλων καθεύδειν ἤρχοντο. [3] ἀμέλει καὶ Κορνήλιος Φρόντων ὁ τὰ πρῶτα τῶν τότε Ῥωμαίων ἐν δίκαις φερόμενος, ἑσπέρας ποτὲ βαθείας ἀπὸ δείπνου οἴκαδε ἐπανιών, καὶ μαθὼν παρά τινος ᾧ συνηγορήσειν ὑπέσχετο δικάζειν αὐτὸν ἤδη, ἔν τε τῇ στολῇ τῇ δειπνίτιδι, ὥσπερ εἶχεν, ἐς τὸ δικαστήριον αὐτοῦ ἐσῆλθε καὶ ἠσπάσατο, οὔτι γε τῷ ἑωθινῷ προσρήματι τῷ χαῖρε, ἀλλὰ [4] τῷ ἑσπερινῷ τῷ ὑγίαινε χρησάμενος. οἴκοι δὲ ὁ Τούρβων οὔποτε ἡμέρας, οὐδὲ νοσήσας, ὤφθη, ἀλλὰ καὶ πρὸς τὸν Ἁδριανὸν συμβουλεύοντα αὐτῷ ἀτρεμῆσαι 3 εἶπεν ὅτι ‘τὸν ἔπαρχον ἑστῶτα ἀποθνήσκειν δεῖ.’ ”
