Book XV, 48: On Uranius the Charioteer
Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. V, 1918)
The Emperor, regarding him as the equal of the famous charioteers, the son of Faustinus and Faustinus himself, erected beside both the statue of Uranius, to whom the people, owing to his countless victories, gave the name of lordly Pelops. Someone looking on these will say truly, “How doth God ever lead like to like.”
