Original Text :	Εἰσὶ δὲ οἳ Ῥωμαῖον στρατιώτην εἶναι τοῦτον ἰσχυρίζονται, καὶ ἐπενηνοχέναι αὐτῷ τὴν πληγὴν, ἀγανακτήσαντα καθότι ἀβουλίᾳ καὶ θρασύτητι τοσούτοις περιέβαλε κινδύνοις τὴν στρατιάν.

Remark :	context: For Sozomenus' first account of Julians death, please refer to: "Julian is killed by a thrown spear of a Persian rider in battle during a sandstorm." He also quotes and comments Libanius' version of this event, discussing the possibility of the murderer being a Christian. (6.1.14-6.2.2)
