ὥστε τοὺς λειπομένους φυγεῖν. Ῥαυσίμοδος δὴ τὸ πολὺ μέρος ἀποβαλὼν τῆς δυνάμεως, ἐς τὰς ναῦς ἐμβὰς ἐπεραιοῦτο τὸν Ἴστρον, διανοούμενος καὶ αὖθις τὴν Ῥωμαίων λῄζεσθαι χώραν. ὅπερ ἀκούσας ὁ Κωνσταντῖνος ἐπηκολούθει, τὸν Ἴστρον καὶ αὐτὸς διαβάς, καὶ συμφυγοῦσι πρός τινα λόφον ὕλας ἔχοντα πυκνὰς ἐπιτίθεται, καὶ πολλοὺς μὲν ἀνεῖλεν, ἐν οἷς καὶ Ῥαυσίμοδον αὐτόν, πολλοὺς δὲ ζωγρίας ἑλὼν τὸ περιλειφθὲν πλῆθος χεῖρας ἀνατεῖναν ἐδέξατο, καὶ μετὰ πλήθους αἰχμαλώτων ἐπανῄει πρὸς τὰ βασίλεια.
