Translation
[Julianus,] the consul, who bought the imperial power.1 When he came into office, he immediately began to spend his leisure in luxury and drunkenness, applying himself lazily to the care of public affairs, and devoting himself to delicate living. He was also found to have deceived the soldiers, for he did not have so much money at home, and the public treasuries had been emptied by Com[m]odus.2 For this cause the soldiers grew angry and the people in the theater held him in contempt.
