[820] Sept. 1, 536, to Sept. 1, 537.
[821] 'Validas contra te apochas invenerunt.'
[822] 'Chlamydes non pavescant, qui arma timuerunt.'
[823] 'Arcarii.'
[824] 'Apochae.'
[825] 'Praefectus Annonae.'
[826] 'Felix illi contigit et praedicanda captivitas.' A little before, we read, 'Resumat facultatem quam se suspiraverat amississe.' These sentences suggest the idea that the petitioner had been brought over in the train of the lately deceased person as a slave. This a little lessens the difficulty of his being admitted to the inheritance. Compare Gen. xv. 3, where Abraham, before the birth of a son, says, 'And one born in my house' (i.e. a slave) 'is mine heir.'
[827] 'Arcarius.'
[828] 'Degeniatus.'
[829] 'Erogatori obsoniorum.'
