“27. αὐτοῦ δοῦναι. εἰ δέ τι καὶ τὰ Αἰγύπτια πρὸς
τοὺς Ῥωμαίους προσήκει, ὁ φοῖνιξ ἐκείνῳ τῷ
ἔτει ὤφθη: καὶ ἔδοξε πάντα ταῦτα τὸν θάνατον
τῷ Τιβερίῳ προσημῆναι. 1 τότε μὲν γὰρ ὁ
Θράσυλλος, τῷ δ᾽ ἐπιόντι ἦρι ἐκεῖνος ἐπί τε 2
Γναίου Πρόκλου καὶ ἐπὶ Ποντίου Νιγρίνου
[2]
ὑπάτων ἐτελεύτησεν. ἐτύγχανε δὲ ὁ Μάκρων
[p. 254]
ἄλλοις τε συχνοῖς καὶ τῷ Δομιτίῳ ἐπιβεβουλευκώς,
καὶ ἐγκλήματα καὶ βασάνους κατ᾽ αὐτῶν
ἐσκευωρημένος: οὐ μὴν καὶ πάντες οἱ αἰτιαθέντες
ἀπέθανον διὰ τὸν Θράσυλλον σοφώτατα τὸν
[3]
Τιβέριον μεταχειρισάμενον. περὶ μὲν γὰρ αὑτοῦ
καὶ πάνυ ἀκριβῶς καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ τὴν ὥραν
ἐν ᾗ τεθνήξοι 3 εἶπεν, ἐκεῖνον δὲ δὴ δέκα ἄλλα ἔτη
ψευδῶς βιώσεσθαι ἔφη, ὅπως ὡς καὶ ἐπὶ
μακρότερον ζήσων μὴ ἐπειχθῇ σφας ἀποκτεῖναι.
ὃ καὶ ἐγένετο: νομίσας γὰρ καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο
ἐξεῖναί οἱ πάνθ᾽ ὅσα ἐβούλετο κατὰ σχολὴν
πρᾶξαι, οὔτ᾽ ἄλλως ἔσπευσε, καὶ τῆς βουλῆς,
ἀντειπόντων τι πρὸς τὰς βασάνους τῶν ὑπευθύνων,
ἀναβαλομένης 4 τὴν καταδίκην σφῶν οὐκ ὠργίσθη.
[4]
γυνὴ μὲν γάρ τις ἑαυτὴν τρώσασα ἐσεκομίσθη τε
ἐς τὸ συνέδριον, καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἐς τὸ δεσμωτήριον
ἀπαχθεῖσα ἀπέθανε, καὶ Λούκιος Ἀρρούντιος 5
καὶ ἡλικίᾳ καὶ παιδείᾳ προήκων, ἑκούσιος, καίπερ
νοσοῦντος ἤδη τοῦ Τιβερίου καὶ νομιζομένου μὴ
ῥαΐσειν, ἐφθάρη: τὴν γὰρ τοῦ Γαΐου κακίαν
συνιδὼν ἐπεθύμησε, πρὶν πειραθῆναι αὐτοῦ,
προαπαλλαγῆναι, εἰπὼν ὅτι ‘οὐ δύναμαι ἐπὶ
γήρως δεσπότῃ καινῷ καὶ τοιούτῳ δουλεῦσαι.’
[5]
οἱ δὲ δὴ ἄλλοι οἱ μὲν καὶ καταψηφισθέντες, ἀλλ᾽
ὅτι γε οὐκ ἐξῆν αὐτοὺς πρὸ τῶν δέκα ἡμερῶν
ἀποθανεῖν, οἱ δὲ καὶ τῆς δίκης αὖθις, ἐπειδὴ τὸν
Τιβέριον κακῶς ἀρρωστοῦντα ᾔσθοντο, ἀναβληθείσης
