τούτου πραχθέντος Κωσταντῖνος μὲν ἐπὶ Κελτοὺς ἀνεχώρει, Λικιννίῳ δὲ καὶ Μαξιμίνῳ πολέμων ἐμφυλίων ὑπεκκαυθέντων καὶ μάχης ἐν Ἰλλυριοῖς καρτερᾶς γενομένης, ἔδοξεν μὲν τὴν ἀρχὴν ὁ Λικίννιος ἐλαττοῦσθαι, παραχρῆμα δὲ ἀναμαχεσάμενος εἰς φυγὴν τρέπει τὸν Μαξιμῖνον, ὃς διὰ τῆς ἑῴας ἐπὶ τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἀπιὼν ἐλπίδι τοῦ συναγαγεῖν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον δυνάμεις ἀρκούσας ἐν Ταρσῷ τελευτᾷ.
