Cum plurimis gentibus imperarem, et universum orbem meæ ditioni subjugassem, volui nequaquam abuti potentiæ magnitudine, sed clementia et lenitate gubernare subjectos, ut absque ullo terrore vitam silentio transigentes, optata cunctis mortalibus pace fruerentur.
Whereas I reigned over many nations, and had brought all the world under my dominion, I was not willing to abuse the greatness of my power, but to govern my subjects with clemency and that they might live quietly without any terror, and might enjoy peace, which is desired by all men,
Cum multo gentes impera, et universa orbe meo ad ditione subiuga, vol nequaquam abes de potentia magnitudine, sed clementia et lenitate guberna subicie, ut absque ullo terrore vita silentio transige, opta cuncta mortali pace fruor.
