2. Panegyrikus auf Avitus (carm. V 1-8)

Phoebe, perargrato tandem visurus in orbe
quem possis perferre parem, da lumina caelo:
sufficit hic terris. nec se iam signifer astris
iactet, Marmaricus (3) quem vertice conterit Atlans:
sidera sunt isti. quae sicut mersa nitescunt,
adversis sic Roma micat, cui fixus ab ortu
ordo fuit crevisse malis. modo principe surgit
consule; [...]

O Sun-god, now at last in the circle of thy wanderings thou canst see one that thou art able to brook as thine equal; so give thy rays to heaven, for he is sufficient to lighten the earth. Nor need the Zodiac, that is grazed by the head of Marmaric Atlas, make boast of its constellations; for this man also hath his stars, and as stars sink only to shine forth once more, so doth Rome’s light flash forth out of her calamities; since from her very beginning it hath been her fixed destiny to grow greater by misfortunes. Now she begins to rise once more with an emperor for consul. [...]

(Sidonius: Poems and Letters I. Ed. by. W. B. Anderson. Cambridge (Mass.)/London 1980, pp. 116-119)

(3) poetisch für „afrikanisch“

"cui fixus ab ortu / ordo fuit crevisse malis" - daran klammert man sich in der Krise, wie es viele Sprichwörter bezeugen.
