Λέγεται δὲ καὶ νεκρὸν τῷ ἴσῳ τρόπῳ ἀναβιῶναι. Τοῦ δὲ εὑρεθέντος θεσπεσίου ξύλου, τὸ μὲν πλεῖστον ἐν ἀργυρᾷ θήκῃ μένον ἔτι καὶ νῦν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις φυλάττεται. Μέρος δὲ ἡ βασιλὶς πρὸς Κωνσταντῖνον τὸν παῖδα διεκόμισεν: οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς ἥλους οἷς τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Χριστοῦ διαπεπερόνητο. Ἐκ τούτων δὲ ἱστοροῦσι, περικεφαλαίαν τὸν βασιλέα κατασκευάσαι, καὶ χαλινὸν ἵππου, κατὰ τὴν Ζαχαρίου προφητείαν: ᾧ δὴ προείρηται, ὡς ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος καιροῦ, ἔσται τὸ ἐπὶ τὸν χαλινὸν τοῦ ἵππου ἅγιον τῷ Κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι.
