Statim tamen et legatos absolvit, et Leonam quaestorem suum in Gallias cum litteris datis ad Iulianum pergere celeri statuit gradu, nihil novatorum se asserens suscepisse, sed eum si saluti suae proximorumque consulit, tumenti flatu deposito, intra Caesaris se potestatem continere praecipiens.
The envoys, however, he dismissed at once, and only ordered his quaestor Leonas to proceed at rapid pace to Gaul with a letter which he had given him for Julian, in which he declared that he accepted none of the changes, but charged him, if he had any regard for his own life and that of his friends, to drop his swelling pride and keep within the bounds of a Caesars power.
