3. Hist. August. p. 140. Herodian, 1. vi. p. 223. Aurelius
Victor. By comparing these authors, it should seem, that
Maximin had the particular command of the Triballian horse,
with the general commission of disciplining the recruits of
the whole army. His biographer ought to have markcd, with
more care, his exploits, and the successive steps of his
military promotions.
