From Ostia comes an inscription which was set up by the grain measurers' union to Q. Petronius Q.f. Melior, etc., praetor of a small town some ten miles from Ostia, and also quattuorvir quinquennalis of Faesulae, a town above Florence, which seems to show that he was sent to Faesulae as a quinquennalis, for the honor which he had held previously was that of praetor in Laurentum.
Well, I have conquered the rebels, and proclaimed an amnesty; so to-morrow I shall return to that paradise of measurers, the end of Long Wharf, not to my former salt-ship, she being now discharged, but to another, which will probably employ me well-nigh a fortnight longer. . . .

He seemed to be doing his best, or nearly that, yet he did not reach but a little beyond Rains' mark. "Seventeen feet, six inches and a quarter," announced one of the measurers. "I wonder if that is anywhere near his limit?" thought Paul, as he slowly walked back to the starting point. "I think I will have to give him a stint this time."
