Ceterum, ut ad ordinem a quo me contemplatio publicae felicitatis averterat redeam, Perdicca unicam spem salutis suae in Meleagri morte reponebat; vanum eundem et infidum celeriterque res novaturum  et sibi maxime infestum occupandum esse.
But to return to the series of events from which the contemplation of the public happiness had diverted me, Perdiccas rested the sole hope of his safety on the death of Meleager; he thought that a man who was vain, faithless and quick to revolt, and his own bitterest enemy, must be attacked first.
