[162] ὁ δὲ τὸ μὲν πρῶτον κελεύει ἀνοιχθῆναι τοὺς σωροὺς ἅπαντας,
ὑπολαμβάνων εὐθυμοτέρους παρασκευάσειν τοὺς ἰδόντας καὶ τρόπον τινὰ τὰς ψυχὰς ἀναθρέψειν πρὸ τῶν σωμάτων ἐλπίσι χρησταῖς, ἔπειτα διὰ τῶν ἐπιτραπέντων τὰς σιταρχίας ἐπώλει τοῖς ἔχουσιν ὠνητικῶς, στοχαζόμενος τοῦ μέλλοντος ἀεὶ καὶ τὸ ἐπιὸν ὁρῶν τοῦ παρόντος ἀκριβέστερον.

[162] And he at first commanded all the treasure-houses to be opened, calculating that he should make the people more cheerful when they had beheld the store that was provided, and that in some degree he should be feeding their souls rather than their bodies on good hopes. After that, by means of those to whom the office of regulating the distribution of corn was committed, he sold it to all who wished to buy, keeping a constant eye on the future, and seeing what was impending even more clearly than the present.
