Riassunto

He afterwards entered upon and pursued the rhetorical profession, until about forty years of age. His earlier years were a struggle with poverty, but his profession finally gave him abundance. This again he is thought to have lost, because in his old age he received the appointment of procurator in Egypt from the Roman Government, probably under Commodus.

He is said to have possessed in early life but an imperfect knowledge of the Greek language, but later.
