Οὐκ ἐνεγκὼν δὲ τὰς παρὰ πάντων ὡς εἰπεῖν βλασφημίας πόλιν ἀντίρροπον τῆς Ῥώμης ἐζήτει, καθ̓ ἣν αὐτὸν ἔδει βασίλεια καταστήσασθαι. γενόμενος δὲ μεταξὺ Τρῳάδος καὶ τῆς ἀρχαίας Ἰλίου καὶ τόπον εὑρὼν εἰς πόλεως κατασκευὴν ἐπιτήδειον, θεμελίους τε ἐπήξατο καὶ τείχους τι μέρος εἰς ὕψος ἀνέστησεν, ὅπερ ἄχρι τοῦδε ὁρᾶν ἔνεστι τοῖς ἐπὶ τὸν Ἑλλήσποντον πλέουσιν. ἐλθὼν δὲ εἰς μετάμελον καὶ ἀτελὲς τὸ ἔργον καταλιπὼν ἐπὶ τὸ Βυζάντιον ᾔει.
