At vero militum conspectu eius elicitae gaudio lacrimae alacritasque et salutationis nova quaedam exultatio et contingendi manum cupiditas non continentium protinus quin adiicerent, videmus te, imperator? Salvum recepimus? Ac deinde ego tecum, imperator, in Armenia, ego in Raetia fui, ego a te in Vindelicis, ego in Pannonia, ego in Germania donatus sum neque verbis exprimi et fortasse vix mereri fidem potest.
Indeed, words cannot express the feelings of the soldiers at their meeting, and perhaps my account will scarcely be believed'the tears which sprang to their eyes in their joy at the sight of him, their eagerness, their strange transports in saluting him, their longing to touch his hand, and their inability to restrain such cries as Is it really you that we see, commander? Have we received you safely back among us? I served with you, general, in Armenia! And I in Raetia! I received my decoration from you in Vindelicia! And I mine in Pannonia! And I in Germany!
