    Original Text :Certainly what happened afterwards confirms this charge, since at a later date after the general restoration of order and a return to security, Severus richly rewarded the rest of his generals. Laetus was the only one he executed, apparently remembering the treachery at Lugdunum.
     
    Translation :πιστοῦται δὲ τὴν διαβολὴν ταύτην ἡ ἀπόβασις· ὕστερον γὰρ ὁ Σεβῆρος, μετὰ τὸ πάντα κατορθῶσαι καὶ εἶναι ἐν ἀμερίμνῳ βίῳ, τοὺς μὲν ἄλλους πάντας στρατηγοὺς αὑτοῦ μεγάλως ἠμείψατο, τὸν δὲ Λαῖτον μόνον, ὡς εἰκός, μνησικακήσας διεχρήσατο.
