And because Montius, when about to breathe his last in the hands of those who were rending him, cried out upon Epigonus and Eusebius, but without indicating their profession or rank, men of the same name were sought for with great diligence. And in order that the excitement might not cool, a philosopher Epigonus from Cilicia was arrested, and a Eusebius, surnamed Pittacas, a vehement orator, from Edessa, although it was not these that the quaestor had implicated, but some tribunes of forges,[*](I.e. in charge of workshops for making arms. Fabrica is applied to Vulcan’s forge in Cic., De Nat. Deo. iii. 22, 55.) who had promised arms in case a revolution should be set on foot.
