Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐτελεύτησε, διεκομίσθη αὐτοῦ τὸ σῶμα εἰς Κωνσταντινούπολιν ἐν λάρνακι χρυσῇ, καὶ ἐπὶ βήματος τινὸς ἐν τοῖς βασιλείοις ἀπετέθη. Τιμὴ δὲ καὶ τάξις ὥσπερ εἰς ζῶντα, ἡ αὐτὴ ἐγένετο παρὰ τῶν ἐν τοῖς βασιλείοις. Ὡς δὲ τὴν τοῦ πατρὸς τελευτὴν θᾶττον αὐτῷ μηνυθεῖσαν ἔγνω Κωνστάντιος ἐν τῇ ἕῳ διατρίβων, σπουδῇ τὴν Κωνσταντινούπολιν κατέλαβε: καὶ βασιλικῶς κηδεύσας αὐτὸν, ἔθαψεν ἐν τῇ ἐπωνύμῳ τῶν ἀποστόλων ἐκκλησίᾳ, ἔνθα δὴ περιὼν αὐτὸς Κωνσταντῖνος ἑαυτῷ τάφον κατεσκεύασεν.
