Proinde si Bactra, quod tutissimum receptaculum est, petimus, praefectum regionis eius, Bessum, regem temporis gratia constituamus; rebus compositis, iusto regi tibi fiduciarium restituet imperium.
Accordingly, if we desire to go to Bactra, which is the safest place of refuge, let us make Bessus, the satrap of that region, king, because of the exigency; when affairs are settled, he will restore to you, the legitimate king, the rule which he has held in trust.
