Note 32 — Chapter IX · THE EUPHRATES FRONTIER AND THE PARTHIANS. (continued 2)
William P. (William Purdie) Dickson translation
Even after the attack Tiridates complained cur datis nuper obsidibus redintegrataque amicitia ... vetere Armeniae possessione depelleretur, and Corbulo presented to him, in case of his turning as a suppliant to the emperor, the prospect of a regnum stabile (Tacitus, Ann. xii. 37). Elsewhere too the refusal of the oath of fealty is indicated as the proper ground of war (Tacitus, Ann. xii. 34).
