26. Herodian, 1. vii. p. 254. Hist. August. p. 150-160. We
may observe, that one month and six days, for the reign of
Gordian, is a just correction of Casaubon and Panvinius,
instead of the absurd reading of one year and six months.
Commentar. p. 193. Zosimus relates, l. i. p. 17, that the
two Gordians perished by a tempest in the midst of their
navigation. A strange ignorance of history, or a strange
abuse of metaphors!
