Maximinus regens quondam Romae vicariam praefecturam, apud Sopianas Valeriae oppidum obscurissime natus est, patre tabulario praesidialis officii, orto a posteritate Carporum, quos antiquis excitos sedibus, Diocletianus transtulit in Pannoniam.
Maximinus, who formerly held the office of vice-prefect at Rome, was born at Sopianae, a town of Valeria, of very humble parents, his father being an accountant in the governors office and sprung from ancestors who were Carpi, a people whom Diocletian drove from its ancient abode and transferred to Pannonia.
