Note 923 — Chapter XII · THE SWORD IN ANCIENT ROME; THE LEGION AND THE GLADIATOR.
Reading edition
Here I rely upon Ammian. Marcell. (xxiv. 4; xxv. 3, 4, and passim). So great a reformer could not escape detraction in its most venomous form. His last words (attributed) Vicisti, Nazarene, must, I think, have been pronounced in Syriac-Arabic, Nasart’ yá Nasráni.
