Kαὶ ὁ μὲν οἷα πιστὸς καὶ ἀγαθὸς θεράπων τοῦτ’ ἔπραττε καὶ ἐκήρυττε, δοῦλον ἄντικρυς ἀποκαλῶν καὶ θεράποντα τοῦ παμβασιλέως ὁμολογῶν ἑαυτόν, θεὸς δ’αὐτὸν ἐγγύθεν ἀμειβόμενος κύριον καθίστησι καὶ δεσπότην νικητήν τε μόνον τῶν ἐξ αἰῶνος αὐτοκρατόρων ἄμαχον καὶ ἀήττη- τον, εἰσαεὶ νικῶντα τροπαίοις τε τοῖς κατ᾿ ἐχθρῶν διὰ παντὸς φαιδρυνόμενον, βασιλέα τε τοσοῦτον, ὅσος οὔδεὶς ἀκοῇ τῶν πάλαι πρότερον μνημονεύεται γενέσθαι· οὕτω μὲν θεοφιλῆ καὶ οὕτω δ’ εὐσεβῆ καὶ πανευδαίμονα, ὡς μετὰ πάσης μὲν ῥᾳστώνης πλειόνων ἢ οἱ ἔμπροσθεν κατασχεῖν ἐθνῶν, ἄλυπον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν εἰς αὐτὴν καταλῆξαι τελευτήν.
