Atque ita frustratus spe iam meliore quietis in rebus propriis post plura adversa fruendae perpetuum exilium diversa sorte dierum exigo, iam dudum cunctis affectibus expers, primo socru ac matre, dehinc et coniuge functa, quae mihi cum fuerit rectis contraria votis officiente metu, fuit et defuncta dolori, tum subtracta, meae potuisset cum magis esse apta senectuti iunctae ad solamina vitae; quae mihi iam derant natis abeuntibus a me, non equidem paribus studiis nec tempore eodem, succensis pariter sed libertatis amore, quam sibi maiorem contingere posse putabant Burdigalae, Gothico quamquam consorte colono.
Thus disappointed in my brightening hopes of enjoying repose on my own property after so many misfortunes, I now spend my days in perpetual exile with varying fortunes, long since deprived of all my dear ones. For first my wifes mother and my mother died; then my wife also, who, when she lived, thwarted my natural hopes through the hindrance of her fears, and in her death caused me grief in being reft from me at a time when her life, if continuous with mine, might have been more serviceable in affording my old age consolations which now it lacked, as my sons left me. These went, not with like aims, indeed, nor at the same time; but both alike were fired with the desire for freedom which they thought they could find in greater measure at Bordeaux, albeit in company with Gothic settlers.
