Magnum est, imperator auguste, magnum est stare in Danubii ripa, si transeas certum triumphi, nec decertare cupere cum recusantibus; quorum alterum fortitudine, alterum moderatione efficitur Nam ut ipse nolis pugnare moderatio, fortitudo tua praestat ut neque hostes tui velint.
How magnificent it was, august Emperor, to stand on the Danubes bank knowing that a triumph was certain did you but cross, and yet have no urge to press on against a foe who refused battle, proof alike of valour and of moderation, the one denying battle to the enemy wanting it, the other denying battle to yourself.
