Atque ut divi iam filii mentionem caelesti patris recordationi subnectam, cum effusurus se in nostras provincias Parthorum rex Phraates videretur, vicinaeque imperio eius regiones subito indicti tumultus denuntiatione quaterentur, tanta in Bosporano tractu commeatus penuria incessit uti sex milibus denariis singula vasa olei, frumentique modiis totidem mancipia permutarentur.
And to follow up recollection of the celestial father with mention of the divine son, when Phraates, king of the Parthians, seemed about to let himself loose upon our provinces, and the regions close to his empire were shaken by the suddenly declared threat of a tumult, such a dearth of provisions ensued in the Bosporan area that a flask of oil sold for six thousand denarii and slaves were exchanged for pecks of grain one for one.
