Eunapius [writes]: "The Emperor Carinus[1] having come into power and wielding supreme authority, engaged in so great an evil tyranny that he made golden the tyranny acted out in tragic drama. And thus by his deeds went far beyond the name [sc. of tyrant]."[2]
And elsewhere: "of them all, he was by far the most outrageous."[3]
Μακρῷ: ἀντὶ τοῦ πολύ. Εὐνάπιος: Καρῖνος ὁ βασιλεύς, γενόμενος ἐν ἐξουσίᾳ καὶ βουλήσεως κύριος ἀνέδραμε τηλικοῦτον κακὸν ἐς τυραννίδα, ὥστε ἀπέδειξε χρυσὸν τὴν τραγῳδουμένην τυραννίδα. οὕτω καὶ τοὔνομα τοῖς ἔργοις μακρῷ παρῆλθε. καὶ αὖθις: τούτων ἁπάντων ἦν ὑβριστότατος μακρῷ.
