[32] 6 Ἐπεὶ δὲ ὁ πρῶτος καὶ μέγιστος ἆθλος οὗτος Γαΐῳ κατείργαστο, μηδενὸς ἔτι λειπομένου κοινωνοῦ τῆς ἡγεμονίας πρὸς ὃν ἀποκλινοῦσί τινες τῶν ἐθελοκακούντων καὶ ἐν ὑποψίαις ὄντων, ἐπὶ δεύτερον εὐθὺς ἐκονίετο τὸν Μάκρωνος, ἀνδρὸς εἰς πάντα αὐτῷ p. 551 M. συναγωνισαμένου τὰ τῆς ἀρχῆς, οὐ
μόνον ἀποδειχθέντι ἡγεμόνι — κολακείας γὰρ ἴδιον τὰς εὐπραγίας θεραπεύειν — ἀλλὰ καὶ πρότερον εἰς τὸ τυχεῖν τῆς ἡγεμονίας.
