§39.6.1ὅτι ὁ στρατηγὸς τῶν Ῥωμαίων μετὰ τὸ χωρισθῆναι ἐξ Ἀχαΐας τὸ συνέδριον, ἐπισκευάσας τὸν ἐν Ἰσθμῷ τόπον καὶ κοσμήσας τὸν ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ καὶ Δελφοῖς νεὼν ταῖς ἑξῆς ἡμέραις ἐπεπορεύετο τὰς πόλεις, τιμώμενος ἐν ἑκάστῃ καὶ τυγχάνων τῆς ἁρμοζούσης χάριτος.
The Roman general, after the council had departed from Achaea, having repaired the site at the Isthmus and decorated the temple at Olympia and Delphi, visited the cities in the following days, being honored in each and receiving appropriate gratitude.
§39.6.2εἰκότως δὲ τιμᾶσθαι συνέβαινεν αὐτὸν καὶ κοινῇ καὶ κατʼ ἰδίαν· §39.6.3καὶ γὰρ ἐγκρατῶς καὶ καθαρῶς ἀνεστράφη καὶ πρᾴως ἐχρήσατο τοῖς ὅλοις πράγμασι, μέγαν καιρὸν ἐν τοῖς Ἕλλησιν ἔχων καὶ μεγάλην ἐξουσίαν.
And indeed, it happened that he was deservedly honored both publicly and privately; for he conducted himself with self-control and purity, and treated all affairs with mildness, although he possessed great opportunity and immense power among the Greeks.
§39.6.4καὶ γὰρ ἐν οἷς ἐδόκει παρεωρακέναι τι τῶν καθηκόντων, ἐμοὶ μὲν οὐκ ἐφαίνετο διʼ ἑαυτὸν τοῦτο πεποιηκέναι, διὰ δὲ τοὺς παρακειμένους φίλους.
For indeed, in those matters in which he seemed to have overlooked some of his duties, it did not appear to me that he had done this because of himself, but because of the friends who were around him.
§39.6.5τοῦτο δʼ ἦν ἐκφανέστατον ἐν τοῖς τῶν Χαλκιδέων ἱππεῦσιν, οὓς ἀνεῖλεν.
And this was most evident in the case of the cavalrymen of Chalcis, whom he put to death.
