page 13 note 5 The reading velis would be easier than de velit, whose subject is not clear. I should be inclined to accept the difficult manuscript text here, understanding Domitianus. There is no grammatical antecedent for this, and in fact the emperor is not named at all, but he is in mind throughout the context, and the supposition well fits the harsh and disjointed style. Domitian is then compared with Alyattes (if we accept Lydus) as instigator of the migration.
