 1 II    |          of Trajan, the reigning emperor, as to what he was to do
 2 II    |        enemy of the gods, of the emperor, of the laws, of good morals,
 3 V     |     should be consecrated by the emperor till first approved by the
 4 XXIV  |         appellation of God as of Emperor belongs only to the Supreme
 5 XXV   |       made for the safety of the emperor already dead. O tardy messengers!
 6 XXVIII|        for the well-being of the emperor; and you are under a necessity
