军营中先发生了一场以刺杀斯提里科为目的的兵变,斯提里科侥幸逃生,跑进拉文纳城寻求保护,并向霍诺留皇帝做出相应解释。
Stilicho escaped with difficulty from the sword of the Goth, and after issuing a last and generous admonition(训令) to the cities of Italy to shut their gates against the barbarians, his confidence or his despair urged him to throw himself into Ravenna, which was already in the absolute possession of his enemies. Olympius, who had assumed the dominion of Honorius, was speedily informed that his rival had embraced(包围), as a suppliant(哀求者), the altar of the Christian church. The base and cruel disposition of the hypocrite was incapable of pity or remorse; but he piously affected to elude, rather than to violate, the privilege of the sanctuary. Count Heraclian, with a troop of soldiers, appeared at the dawn of day before the gates of the church of Ravenna. The bishop was satisfied by a solemn oath that the Imperial mandate only directed them to secure the person of Stilicho: but as soon as the unfortunate minister had been tempted beyond the holy threshold, he produced the warrant(死刑执行令) for his instant execution. Stilicho supported with calm resignation the injurious names of traitor and parricide; repressed the unseasonable zeal of his followers, who were ready to attempt an ineffectual rescue; and, with a firmness not unworthy of the last of the Roman generals, submitted his neck to the sword of Heraclian.(106)
当然还有别的说法,却都大同小异,总之斯提里科死前,已经众叛亲离了,罗马朝廷、百姓都憎恨他和他的军队,一旦失去对军队的掌控,他就死定了。
