Note:
See web address 1 below for the LSJ entry on this word. It gives two instances: (i) from
Aristophanes,
Wasps 752, where an
apsephistos is a juror who has not yet cast his vote, and (ii) from the
Sententiae of
Secundus (C2 CE), where poverty which is figuratively speaking not-voted-for is unwelcome. The present quotation (repeated at
psi 83) seems more akin to i than to ii, but the object is impersonal, and the overall import obscure.

*salou/stios
Adler number: sigma,64
Translated headword: Sallustius, Salustius; Salutius
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Commander of [the] praetorians; [it was he] who put forward Valentinian as emperor.[1] And he, having become emperor, appointed a successor to him[2] and set up public notices, [to the effect] that, if a person had received an injustice from him, he [sc. the victim] should appear before the emperor. But no one appeared; for
Sallustius was the purest of men. When the
praepositus[3] Rhodanus[4] had wronged a certain widow called Veronica, and she appeared before the emperor, this Valentinian gave the case to
Sallustius as judge. He condemned the
praepositus; and when the latter had expressed his contempt, he condemned the
praepositus to the fire in the cavalry [camp], and gave all the property of the chief eunuch to the widow; and, in fear, [people] abstained from every injustice.

Notes:
For this man see already
pi 1326 and especially
sigma 63 (latter part), where he is presented as 'a commander of the palace under [the emperor] Julian'. Banchich (1988: 224) suggests that he must be Julian's praetorian prefect Saturninius
Secundus Salutius (sic), mentioned by
Eunapius of
Sardis in this Suda passage (=
Eunapius,
Fragmenta Historica 1.231.13-25 Dindorf) -– and in his extant
Life of the Sophists 479 (52.20, 53.9-10, ed. Giangrande). When Julian died, the army offered the succession to Salustius (Fowden 1997: 547). Salustius (or Salutius -- see Banchich 1988: 224, n.6) was Julian’s close friend and adviser; he wrote a treatise
On the gods and the world, where he defended, inter alia, the thesis of the ingenerability, eternity (2.1), and incorporeality (2.2) of god. He also argued for the immortality of the soul (8.3).
If the '
Sallustius' of these Suda passages (and elsewhere) is
not Saturninus
Secundus Salutius, an alternative theory identifies him with the Flavius
Sallustius was was praetorian prefect of Gaul 361-363.
[1] Valentinian I (
omicron 762); he served under Julian, amongst others, before becoming emperor himself.
[2] This unusual use of the verb
diade/xomai is noted in LSJ s.v.
[3] That is 'a person placed over', a common title given to many officers in the later Roman Empire. In the Suda cf. under
epsilon 3604 (=
theta 145 =
pi 793 =
upsilon 169).
[4] 'Chrysaphius' in
pi 2441, q.v.
