Excerpt from The Hunters of Euboea
Dion was exiled by Domitian. At the beginning of Oration XII. He says: It was my misfortune to be banished for my reputed friendship with a man2 who was no scoundrel, but was rich and akin to the emperor, and lost his life on that account. After the death of Domitian he was recalled to court by Nerva, who was his personal friend. Trajan admired him also, and once, riding with the orator in the emperor's chariot, said to him: I do not know what you say; but I love you as myself.3 In his old age Dion returned to his native town of Prusa, for which he had already obtained many bene fits through his infiuence at the capital, and there he seems to have lived until his death about 117 a.d.
