καὶ τὸν μὲν τεθνη- κότα ἐκόσμουν αἱ βοαὶ ταῖς εἰς τὸν υἱὸν εὐφημίαις, τὸν δὲ παῖδα ἐμακάριζον τοιοῦδε πατρὸς διάδοχον ἀποδειχθέντα, πάντα δὲ τὰ ὑπὸ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἔθνη εὐφροσύνης ἐπληροῦτο καὶ ἀλέκτου χαρᾶς ὡς μηδὲ χρόνου βραχυτάτου ῥοπὴν χηρεύσαντα βασιλικῆς εὐκοσμίας. τοῦτο τέλος εὐσεβοῦς καὶ φιλοθέου τρόπου ἐπὶ βασιλεῖ Κωνσταντίῳ θεὸς ἔδειξε τῷ καθ' ἡμᾶς γένει.
