But the same Emperour did some things in no wise answerable to those [we have related.] For he invented that termed a 1.2 The Chrysotelia, and b 1.3 rated the expence of the Militia at a very high value, to the great dammage c 1.4 of the Provincials.

Whence it hapned, that the Tributes were both extreamly lessened, and the beauty also of the Cities decayed. For anciently, the noblest personages were enrolled in the Albs [or, Registers] of [all] Cities, and each City had and appointed those [persons who were registred] in * 1.8 The Cu∣ria, instead of a certain Senate.
