“Qui ubi primum adolevit, pollens viribus, decora facie, sed multo maxume ingenio validus, non se luxu neque inertiae corrumpendum dedit, sed, uti mos gentis illius est, equitare, iaculari, cursu cum aequalibus certare, et quom omnis gloria anteiret, omnibus tamen carus esse; ad hoc pleraque tempora in venando agere, leonem atque alias feras primus aut in primis ferire; plurumum facere et minumum ipse de se loqui.”

As soon as he grew to adulthood, endowed with strength and handsome appearance but above all vigorous in his intelligence, he did not give himself to being spoilt by either extravagance or idleness but rather, as was the custom of his nation, he rode on horseback, threw javelins, contended in races with his equals, and although he went before all in glory, he was dear to all; besides this, he gave much time to hunting and he was the first or among the first to strike the lion or other wild beasts; he did very much but spoke very little of himself.
