Destinatus sorti suae et iam nullius salubris consilii patiens, unicam in illa fortuna opem, Artabazum, ultimum illud visurus, amplectitur perfususque mutuis lacrimis inhaerentem sibi avelli iubet; capite deinde velato, ne inter gemitus digredientem velut a rogo intueretur, in humum pronum corpus abiecit.
