[22]
The woman
having lost her children, when the hope of recovering one of her sons was held out to her,
summoned all her relations, and all the intimate friends of her son, and with tears entreated
them to undertake the business to seek out the youth, and to restore to her that son whom
fortune had willed should be the only one remaining to her out of many. Just when she had
begun to adopt these measures, she was taken ill. Therefore she made a will in these terms:
she left to that son four hundred thousand sesterces; and she made that Oppianicus who has
been already mentioned, her grandson, her heir. And a few days after, she died. However, these
relations, as they had undertaken to do while Dinea was alive, when she was dead, went into
the Gallic territory to search out Aurius, with the same man who had brought Dinea the
information.
