text_original: The new Arsacid in Armenia, so and lately seated on the throne, had sent already more than once to Trajan. But his first letter Armenia, ^as written in lofty style as to a brother king, and was therefore left without an answer ; the second struck a lower note, and offered to do homage through the governor of a neighbouring province. Even this the Emperor scarcely deigned to notice, would not even for a time displace the official from his post, but merely sent the governor's son to bear this answer.
