    Original Text :τόν τε Ἀλβῖνον συλλαβόντες καὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς ἀφελόντες, κομίσαντες αὐτὴν τῷ Σεβήρῳ δισσὰ καὶ μέγιστα ἤγειραν τρόπαια, τὸ μὲν ἐν ἀνατολῇ τὸ δ᾿ ὑπ᾿ ἄρκτῳ, ὡς μηδὲν ταῖς Σεβήρου μάχαις ἢ νίκαις παραβάλλεσθαι μήτε πλήθει δυνάμεως μήτε ἐθνῶν κινήσεσιν ἀριθμῷ τε παρατάξεων ὁδοιπορίας τε μήκει καὶ τάχει.
     
    Translation :Albinus was taken prisoner, executed and his head carried to Severus. Finally two huge victory monuments were set up, one in the East, and the other in the North. The battles and victories of Severus are quite unique in the size of the contending forces, the upheaval among the nations, the numbers of battles and the distances and speed of the marches.
