Book XV, 45: On Julianus the Charioteer
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
The Emperor himself, the whole People, and the reverend Senate, by a common vote erected this statue of Julianus, whose mother and nurse was Tyre, a charioteer who had won many crowns. For in his old age he had retired from the course, leaving regret even to all in whom love of his rivals was strong.
