And the Mention of one Sefterce given for ir, is 
only 'Diets gratia, much like our Form in Leafes 
for patting into PofTeffion, In confideration of five 
Shillings in Hand paid. Frequent Examples occur

his Son Voltifiantis, were Confuls, A.D. 25*2; and 
ours probably, as will be ftiewn hereafter, during 
the Reign of Septimius Severus.
