* One of the orations of Aelins Aristides referred to these calamities.— N. See Fhilostratns, ViL Sophist ii 9. 2. H. AUBSLIUS. 247 tte more generally received account, Antoninus adopted him and L. Aelius Verus Commodus, the son of Aeliua Venis, at the same time ; whereas, according to another statement, M. Aureliua was obliged to adopt Commodus.9 The tact that Aurelius and Commodos are called Divi fratres, is, however, a strong argu- ment in support of the former account. But it is strange to ...find that L. Aelius Verus, in a letter addressed to M. Aurelius^^, while speaking of Antoninus Pius, uses the words avus meusy and pater turn. It may be that this curious adoption was made in such a manner that the adoptive &ther, Antoninus Pius, afterwards gave L. Aelius Verus as adoptive son to M« Aurelius, for such things often occurred.^^ It is more delightful to speak of M. Aurelius than of any man in history ; for, if there is any sublime human virtue, it is his. He was certainly the noblest character of his time; and I know no other man who combined such unaffected kindness, mildness^ and humility, with such conscientiousness and severity towards himself.
