Nam cum omnibus provectior natu, et dignitate sublimior, canitiem reverendam ostenderet, multis ad perfidiam inclinatis, publicum grassatorem Procopium, milites vero secutos eius errorem, filios et laborum participes pristinorum, appellans, orabat, ut se ac si parentem magis sequerentur, felicissimis ductibus cognitum, quam profligato morem gererent nebuloni, destituendo iam et casuro.
For Arbitio, who was older than the rest and of higher rank, showing to many who were inclined to rebellion his venerable gray hair, called Procopius a public brigand, while he pleaded with the soldiers who had followed the usurpers delusion as with his children and comrades in his former labours; and he begged them rather to obey him, as a parent who was known for his successful campaigns, than a profligate wretch who was already on the point of being deserted and was approaching his fall.
