Ὁνωρία, ἀδελφὴ Βαλεντινιανοῦ· ἥτις καὶ αὐτὴ τῶν βασιλικῶν εἴχετο σκήπτρων. Εὐγενίῳ δέ τινι τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν τῶν αὐτῆς ἔχοντι πραγμάτων ἥλω ἐς λάθριον ἐρχομένη λέχος, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ἁμαρτήματι ἀνῃρέθη μὲν ἐκεῖνος, ἡ δὲ τῶν βασιλείων ἐξηλάθη.

Notes (2)
- Justa Grata Honoria, elder sister of Valentinian III (emperor 425-455). She held the title of Augusta and has her own De Imperatoribus Romanis entry (Ralph W. Mathisen, web address 1). The present material has been attributed to both John of Antioch (fr. 199.2 FHG [4.613], now 292 Roberto) and Priscus (first advocated by de Boor; Priscus fr.64 Bornmann, fr.17 Blockley, now fr.62 Carolla). Although she includes fr.62 among her fragmenta dubia, Carolla indicates (90-91) that the content of the Suda entry is Priscan in origin.

- 2Eugenius (executed in 449) was the manager of Honoria's estates; cf. PLRE II s.v. Eugenius(1). ↩
