"Marcijan je bio porijeklom iz Dalmacije i njom je vladao praktički samostalno u periodu 454-468. Bio je prijatelj vojskovođe Aetija koji je ubijen 454. te je Marcijan iskazao poštovanje i poslušnost caru. 468. dobio je poziv da mora braniti Sisciliju, ali je tamo mučki i izdajnički ubijen."

Translation: Marcian was originally from Dalmatia and ruled it practically independently in the period 454-468. He was a friend of the military leader Aetius, who was killed in 454, and Marcian showed respect and obedience to the emperor. In 468 he was summoned to defend Siscilia, but was brutally and treacherously killed there.
