“13. ὅτι ἐπρεσβεύσαντο οἱ Ἰάζυγες εἰρήνης δεόμενοι πρὸς Μᾶρκον, οὐ μέντοι καὶ ἔτυχόν τινος: ἄπιστόν τε γὰρ τὸ φῦλον αὐτῶν ὁ Μᾶρκος εἰδὼς ὄν, καὶ προσέτι καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν Κουάδων ἀπατηθείς, [2] ἐπίπαν ἐξελεῖν 1 ἠθέλησεν. οἱ γὰρ Κούαδοι οὐχ ὅτι ἐκείνοις τότε συνεμάχησαν, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς Μαρκομάνους πρότερον, ὡς ἔτι ἐπολέμουν, καταφεύγοντας ἐς τὴν σφετέραν ὅτε βιασθεῖεν ἐδέχοντο, καὶ οὔτ᾽ ἄλλο τι ὧν ὡμολογήκεσαν ἐποίουν, οὔτε τοὺς αἰχμαλώτους πάντας ἀπέδοσαν ἀλλ᾽ ὀλίγους, καὶ τούτους οἷς οὔτε ἐς πρᾶσιν οὔτε ἐς [3] ὑπηρεσίαν τινὰ χρήσασθαι ἐδύναντο. εἰ δ᾽ οὖν τινὰς καὶ τῶν ἀκμαζόντων ἀπεδίδοσαν, ἀλλὰ [p. 26] τούς γε 2 συγγενεῖς αὐτῶν οἴκοι κατεῖχον, ἵνα καὶ ἐκεῖνοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς αὐτομολῶσι. καὶ τὸν βασιλέα σφῶν Φούρτιον ἐκβαλόντες 3 Ἀριόγαισον αὐτοὶ ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτῶν βασιλέα σφίσιν ἐστήσαντο. [4] καὶ τούτοις διὰ ταῦτα ὁ αὐτοκράτωρ οὔτε ἐκεῖνον ὡς καὶ νόμῳ τινὶ γεγονότα ἐβεβαίωσεν, οὔτε τὰς σπονδάς, καίπερ πέντε μυριάδας αἰχμαλώτων ἀποδώσειν ὑπισχνουμένοις, ἀνενεώσατο.” Exc. UG 59 (p. 409). “ ”
