Kur u soll\u00ebn p\u00ebrs\u00ebri para tij, ata q\u00ebndruan t\u00eb vendosur dhe t\u00eb gatsh\u00ebm p\u00ebr t\u00eb duruar vuajtje akoma m\u00eb t\u00eb m\u00ebdha p\u00ebr Krishtin e tyre. Latronianus, i t\u00ebrbuar nga q\u00ebndrimi i tyre i pal\u00ebkundur, i shpalli dy murgjit tradhtar\u00eb t\u00eb perandoris\u00eb dhe urdh\u00ebroi tortura t\u00eb reja. Menj\u00ebher\u00eb m\u00eb pas ai dha dekretin p\u00ebrfundimtar q\u00eb atyre t&#8217;u pritej koka si armiq t\u00eb shtetit dhe per\u00ebndive t\u00eb Rom\u00ebs.
