13. Suidas (most probably from the history of Eunapius) has
given a very unfavourable picture of Timasius. The account
of his accuser, the judges, trial, etc., is perfectly
agreeable to the practice of ancient and modern courts. (See
Zosimus, 1. v. [c. 9] p. 298, 299, 300.) I am almost tempted
to quote the romance of a great master (Fielding's Works,
vol. iv. p. 49, etc., 8vo. edit.), which may be considered
as the history of human nature.
