“10. καὶ πάντα ἁπλῶς προσανέῳξαν. ἰδόντες δ᾽ οὖν
οἱ στρατιῶται τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ᾐδέσθησαν, πλὴν
ἑνός, καὶ τούς τε ὀφθαλμοὺς 1 ἐς τὸ δάπεδον
ἤρεισαν 2 καὶ τὰ ξίφη ἐς τοὺς κουλεοὺς ἐναπέθεντο:
ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐκεῖνος προπηδήσας εἶπέ τε ὅτι
‘τοῦτό σοι τὸ ξίφος οἱ στρατιῶται πεπόμφασι,’
καὶ προσπεσὼν εὐθὺς ἔπληξεν αὐτόν, οὐκ ἐπέσχον
ἀλλὰ τόν τε αὐτοκράτορά σφων κατέκοψαν
[2]
καὶ τὸν Ἔκλεκτον. μόνος γὰρ δὴ οὗτος οὔτ᾽
ἐγκατέλιπεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπήμυνεν αὐτῷ ὅσον
ἠδυνήθη, ὥστε καὶ τρῶσαί τινας: ὅθεν ἐγὼ καὶ
πρὸ τοῦ ἄνδρα αὐτὸν ἀγαθὸν γεγονέναι νομίζων,
τότε δὴ καὶ πάνυ ἐθαύμασα. ἀποτεμόντες δὲ
οἱ στρατιῶται τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ Περτίνακος περί
τε 3 δόρυ περιέπειραν, τῷ ἔργῳ ἐλλαμπρυνόμενοι.
[3]
οὕτω μὲν ὁ Περτίναξ ἐπιχειρήσας ἐν ὀλίγῳ
πάντα ἀνακαλέσασθαι ἐτελεύτησεν, οὐδὲ ἔγνω
καίπερ ἐμπειρότατος πραγμάτων ὤν, ὅτι ἀδύνατόν
ἐστιν ἀθρόα τινὰ ἀσφαλῶς ἐπανορθοῦσθαι,
ἀλλ᾽ εἴπερ τι ἄλλο, καὶ πολιτικὴ κατάστασις
καὶ χρόνου καὶ σοφίας χρῄζει. ἐβίω 4 δὲ ἔτη
ἑπτὰ καὶ ἑξήκοντα τεσσάρων μηνῶν καὶ τριῶν
ἡμερῶν δέοντα, ἦρξε δὲ ἡμέρας ὀγδοήκοντα καὶ
ἑπτά.” Xiph. 286, 15-288, 4 R. St., Exc. Val. 331, Exc. Vat. 126.
