Et imperator, cui non cuppediae ciborum, ex regio more, sed sub columellis tabernaculi parvis cenaturo, pultis portio parabatur exigua, etiam munifici fastidienda gregario quicquid ad ministeria postulabatur, per contubernia paupertina sui securus egessit.
And the emperor, who had no dainties awaiting him, after the manner of princes, but a scant portion of porridge under the low poles of a humble tent'a meal which would have been scorned even by one who served as a common soldier' regardless of himself distributed through the tents of the poorer of his men whatever was demanded for his own needs.
