Verum quid ego fortissimos hoc in genere prudentiae uiros laudem? respiciantur Indorum feminae, quae, cum more patrio conplures eidem nuptae esse soleant, mortuo marito in certamen iudiciumque ueniunt, quam ex his maxime dilexerit. uictrix gaudio exultans deductaque a necessariis laetum prae se ferentibus uultum coniugis se flammis superiacit et cum eo tamquam felicissima crematur: superatae cum tristitia et maerore in uita remanent. protrahe in medium Cimbricam audaciam, adice Celtibericam fidem, iunge animosam Thraciae † potentiam sapientiam, adnecte Lyciorum in luctibus abiciendis callide quaesitam rationem, Indico tamen rogo nihil eorum praeferes, quem uxoria pietas in modum genialis tori propinquae mortis secura conscendit.
