De civitate Dei (413 - 427) Augustine of Hippo |
| Quotation |
sed haec, inquam, omitto, quamuis illud nequaquam tacuerim, quod mithridates rex asiae ubique in
asia peregrinantes ciues romanos atque innumerabili copia suis negotiis intentos uno die occidi iussit; et factum est. |
| Translation |
But, as I say, I omit these things. I certainly cannot pass over Mithridates, however: the king of Asia who commanded that all Roman citizens dwelling anywhere in Asia – where enormous numbers were pursuing their business – were to be put to death. And this was done, on a single day. (Trans. Dyson) |
