1. Inperatores Romani et reges quidam gentium aureas coronas utuntur. Persae tiaras gerunt; sed reges rectas, satrapae incurvas. Reperta autem tiara a Semiramide Assyriorum regina. Quod genus ornamenti exinde usque hodie gens ipsa retinet. Athenienses enim cic[l]adas aureas gerebant partim in vertice, nonnulli in fronte. Non enim eadem sunt insignia omnium regnorum. Gentilium vates infulas, apices, pillea sive galeria utebantur.
