ἐν μὲν οὖν τῇ στρατηγίᾳ μετρίως
ἐπαινούμενον ἑαυτὸν παρέσχε, μετὰ δὲ τὴν στρατηγίαν κλήρῳ λαβὼν τὴν
ἐκτὸς Ἰβηρίαν λέγεται καθᾶραι λῃστηρίων τὴν ἐπαρχίαν ἀνήμερον οὖσαν
ἔτι τοῖς ἐθισμοῖς καὶ θηριώδη, καὶ τὸ λῃστεύειν οὔπω τότε τῶν
Ἰβήρων οὐχὶ κάλλιστον ἡγουμένων, ἐν δὲ τῇ πολιτείᾳ γενόμενος οὐκ
εἶχεν οὔτε πλοῦτον οὔτε λόγον, οἷς ἦγον οἱ τότε μάλιστα τιμώμενοι
τὸν δῆμον.

αὐτὴν δὲ τὴν ἀνάτασιν τοῦ
φρονήματος καὶ τὸ περὶ τοὺς πόνους ἐνδελεχὲς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ δημοτικὸν τῆς
διαίτης ἔν τινι σπουδῇ τιθεμένων τῶν πολιτῶν ηὐξάνετο τῇ τιμῇ πρὸς
δύναμιν, ὥστε καὶ γάμον γῆμαι λαμπρὸν οἰκίας ἐπιφανοῦς τῆς Καισάρων
Ἰουλίαν, ἧς ἦν ἀδελφιδοῦς Καῖσαρ ὁ χρόνοις ὕστερον Ῥωμαίων
μέγιστος γενόμενος καί τι κατ᾽ οἰκειότητα ζηλώσας Μάριον, ὡς ἐν τοῖς περὶ
ἐκείνου γέγραπται. [p. 476]

τῷ δὲ Μαρίῳ καὶ σωφροσύνην μαρτυροῦσι καὶ
καρτερίαν, ἧς δεῖγμα καὶ τὸ περὶ τὴν χειρουργίαν ἐστίν, ἰξιῶν γάρ, ὡς
ἔοικε, μεγάλων ἀνάπλεως ἄμφω τὰ σκέλη γεγονὼς καὶ τὴν ἀμορφίαν
δυσχεραίνων ἔγνω παρασχεῖν ἑαυτὸν τῷ ἰατρῷ: καὶ παρέσχεν ἄδετος
θάτερον σκέλος, οὐδὲν κινηθεὶς οὐδὲ στενάξας, ἀλλὰ καθεστῶτι τῷ
προσώπῳ καὶ μετὰ σιωπῆς ὑπερβολάς τινας ἀλγηδόνων ἐν ταῖς τομαῖς
ἀνασχόμένος:, τὸν δ̓: ἰατροῦ μετιόντος ἐπὶ θάτερον οὐκέτι παρέσχε,
φήσας ὁρᾶν τὸ ἐπανόρθωμα τῆς ἀλγηδόνος οὐκ ἄξιον.
