δεξαμένου δὲ ῥᾷστα τοῦ Κωσταντίνου τὸν λόγον καὶ ἀφεμένου μὲν τῶν πατρίων, μετασχόντος δὲ ὧν ὁ Αἰγύπτιος αὐτῷ μετεδίδου, τῆς ἀσεβείας τὴν ἀρχὴν ἐποιήσατο τὴν μαντικὴν ἔχειν ἐν ὑποψίᾳ: πολλῶν γὰρ αὐτῷ διὰ ταύτης προρρηθέντων εὐτυχημάτων καὶ ἐκβάντων εἰς ἔργον, ἐδεδίει μή ποτε καὶ ἄλλοις κατ̓ αὐτοῦ τι πυνθανομένοις τὸ ἐσόμενον προρρηθείη, καὶ ἐκ ταύτης τῆς προαιρέσεως πρὸς τὸ ταῦτα καταλύειν ἐτράπη.
