Excessit autem vita Procopius anno quadragesimo, amplius mensibus decem: corpore non indecoro, nec mediocris staturae, subaquilus, humumque intuendo semper incedens, perque morum tristium latebras, illius similis Crassi, quem in vita semel risisse, Lucilius affirmat et Tullius, sed (quod est mirandum), quoad vixerat, incruentus.
Procopius departed this life at the age of forty years and ten months. Personally he was a tall man and not bad looking; he was somewhat dark complexioned, and walked with his gaze always fixed on the ground. In his secretive and gloomy nature he was like that Crassus who, as Lucilius and Cicero declare, laughed only once in his life; but the surprising thing is, that throughout all his life he was not stained with bloodshed.
