Meantime Bato the Breucan, who had betrayed Pinnes and received the governorship of the Breuci as reward for this, was captured by the other Bato, and perished.  The Breucan had been a little suspicious of his subject tribes and went around to each of the garrisons to demand hostages:  the other, learning of this habit, lay in wait for him, conquered him in battle, and shut him up within the fortifications.  Later his defeated rival was given up by those in the place, and he took him and led him before the army, whereupon the man was condemned to death and sentence executed without delay.  After this event numbers of the Pannonians rose in revolt.  Silvanus led a campaign in person, conquered the Breucans, and won the allegiance of some of the rest without a struggle.  Bato seeing this gave up all hope of Pannonia, but stationed garrisons at the passes leading to Dalmatia and ravaged the country.  Then the remainder of the Pannonians, especially as their country was suffering harm from Silvanus, made terms.  Only certain nests of brigands, who in so great a disturbance could naturally do damage for a long time, held out.  Tins practically always happens in the case of all enemies, and is especially characteristic of the tribes in question.  These localities were reduced by other persons.

[Footnote 6:  Between this point and ... “to Mars” two leaves are missing in the codex Marcianus.  The gap is filled in the usual makeshift fashion by Xiphilinus and Zonaras.]

[Footnote 7:  The ancients seem rather uncertain about this personage’s name, for Velleius Paterculus gives Adduus, and Florus Donnes.  The modern reader may take his choice of the three, and the layman is as likely to be right as the expert]

[Footnote 8:  Between this point and the words “he both adopted Tiberius,” etc., in chapter 13, two leaves of the codex Marcianus are lacking.  Of the missing portion Xiphilinus and Zonaras supply perhaps three-sevenths.]

[Footnote 9:  These are the words of Xiphilinus.  Zonaras presents an alternate possibility (X, 36) as follows:  “Among the Greeks, Dio says, the coin called aureus has twenty drachmae (denarii) as its regular rate of exchange.”]

[Footnote 10:  It seems rather likely that Zonaras has become confused, and that he should have said “Livia.”]
