Pliny developed into a volume the senatorialharangue which he addressed to the emperor on accepting the consulate in the autumn of theyear 100, that is to say, at a time when Trajan had as yet done nothing. When one sees whateulogiums an exceedingly honest man like Pliny is able to lavish upon a prince so soon after hisaccession, one can comprehend what others did, and can say that it must have required prettystrong heads to have resisted the intoxication which these flatterers poured forth. ^ Dion well says : roic ri xpîjiutaiv, ci kut troc Aâ/t/3aj0) fiapxnôi.iiroç (Ixviii.
