Now, in the second year of the reign of Caius Caesar, Agrippa desired
leave to be given him to sail home, and settle the affairs of his government;
and he promised to return again, when he had put the rest in order, as
it ought to be put. So, upon the emperor's permission, he came into his
own country, and appeared to them all unexpectedly as asking, and thereby
demonstrated to the men that saw him the power of fortune, when they compared
his former poverty with his present happy affluence; so some called him
a happy man, and others could not well believe that things were so much
changed with him for the better.
