9. See Prosper, Tyro, p. 639. Sidonius (Panegyr. Avit. 246) complains, in the name of Auvergne,his native country:
Litorius Scythicos equites tunc forte, subacto
Celsus Aremorico, Geticum rapiebat in agmen
Per terras, Arverne, tuas: qui proxima quaeque
Discursu, flammis, ferro, feritate, rapinis,
Delebant; pacis fallentes nomen inane.
Another poet, Paulinus of Perigord, confirms the complaint:
Nam socium vix ferre queas, qui durior hoste.
See Dubos, tom. i. p. 330.
