Titus spectata opulentia donisque regum quaeque alia
laetum antiquitatibus Graecorum genus incertae vetustati
adfingit, de navigatione primum consuluit. postquam pandi
viam et mare prosperum accepit, de se per ambages interrogat caesis compluribus hostiis. Sostratus (sacerdotis id
nomen erat) ubi laeta et congruentia exta magnisque consultis adnuere deam videt, pauca in praesens et solita respondens, petito secreto futura aperit. Titus aucto animo ad
patrem pervectus suspensis provinciarum et exercituum
mentibus ingens rerum fiducia accessit.
Profligaverat bellum Iudaicum Vespasianus, obpugnatione Hierosolymorum reliqua, duro magis et arduo opere
ob ingenium montis et pervicaciam superstitionis quam quo
satis virium obsessis ad tolerandas necessitates superesset.
tres, ut supra memoravimus, ipsi Vespasiano legiones erant,
exercitae bello: quattuor Mucianus obtinebat in pace, sed
aemulatio et proximi exercitus gloria depulerat segnitiam,
quantumque illis roboris discrimina et labor, tantum his
vigoris addiderat integra quies et inexperti belli †labor.
auxilia utrique cohortium alarumque et classes regesque ac
nomen dispari fama celebre.
