Ὁ δὲ Ἰοβιανὸς ἀμφὶ ὀκτὼ μῆνας ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ διαγενόμενος, ἀπιὼν ἐπὶ τὴν Κωνσταντινούπολιν, ἐξαπίνης ἐν Δαδαστάνοις χωρίῳ τῆς Βιθυνίας καθ̓ ὁδὸν ἐτελεύτησεν: ἢ ἀφειδέστερον, ὥς τινες λέγουσι, δειπνήσας: ἢ ὑπὸ τῆς ὀδμῆς τοῦ οἰκήματος ἐν ᾧ ἐκάθευδεν, ἀσβέστῳ προσφάτως ἐγχρισθέντος: ἐπιγενέσθαι γὰρ ἰκμάδα, καὶ νοτισθῆναι τοὺς τοίχους ἀμέτρως, πολλῶν ἀνθράκων αὐτόθι καιομένων, ὡς ἐν ὥρᾳ χειμῶνος διὰ τὴν ἀλέαν.
