C. uero Popilius a senatu legatus ad Antiochum missus, ut bello se, quo Ptolemaeum lacessebat, abstineret, cum ad eum uenisset atque is prompto animo et amicissimo uultu dexteram ei porrexisset, inuicem illi suam porrigere noluit, sed tabellas senatus consultum continentis tradidit. quas ut legit Antiochus, dixit se cum amicis conlocuturum. indignatus Popilius, quod aliquam moram interposuisset, uirga solum, quo insistebat, denotauit et 'prius' inquit 'quam hoc circulo excedas da responsum, quod senatui referam'. non legatum locutum, sed ipsam curiam ante oculos positam crederes: continuo enim rex adfirmauit fore ne amplius de se Ptolemaeus quereretur, ac tum demum Popilius manum eius tamquam socii adprehendit. quam efficax est animi sermonisque abscisa grauitas! eodem momento Syriae regnum terruit, Aegypti texit.
