Ἐσπούδαζον δὲ περὶ ταῦτα ἄλλοι τε πολλοὶ τῶν ἐν τέλει Ῥωμαίων, καὶ Φλαβιανὸς ὁ τότε ὕπαρχος, ἀνὴρ ἐλλόγιμος, καὶ περὶ τὰ πολιτικὰ ἐχέφρων εἶναι δοκῶν: προσέτι δὲ καὶ τὰ μέλλοντα ἀκριβοῦν λογιζόμενος ἐπιστήμῃ παντοδαπῆς μαντείας. Ταύτῃ γὰρ μάλιστα τὸν Εὐγένιον ἔπεισε εἰς πόλεμον παρασκευάσασθαι, μοιρίδιον εἶναι αὐτῷ τὴν βασιλείαν ἰσχυριζόμενος, καὶ νίκην ἐπὶ τῇ μάχῃ συμβήσεσθαι, καὶ μεταβολὴν τῆς Χριστιανῶν θρησκείας.
