Name me this man, young man; who is this felicitous man? Friendly stranger, it is Elias. The emperors have rewarded him as he deserves it. Because from his own funds he widened the narrow winter-bath, showing mercy towards the poor folk of the city each of whom pursues his own craft, and he paid the salaries himself, from his own funds.
