Note 074
Though the author of the Life of Alexander (Hist.
August. p. 132) mentions the sedition raised against Ulpian
by the soldiers, he conceals the catastrophe, as it might
discovcr a weakness in the administration of his hero. From
this designed omission, we may judge of the weight and
candour of that author.
