τούτων ἀκηκοὼς τῶν λόγων Κωνστάντιος ἀπέστησε μὲν τῆς διώξεως τοὺς οἰκείους, ἐνεδίδου δὲ Μαγνεντίῳ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ στρατιὰν εἰς τὰ μεταξὺ Νωρικοῦ καὶ Παιονίας καὶ Μυσίας καὶ Δακίας πεδία μεταστῆσαι, τῶν μὲν δυσχωριῶν ἀπαλλαγῆναι βουλόμενος, ὡς δὲ τῇ ἵππῳ πλεονεκτῶν ἐν ἱππασίμοις αὐτὸν καταπολεμῆσαι χωρίοις. ἐκβάσης δὲ τῆς σκέψεως εἰς ἔργον αὐτῷ, τόπον ἐπιτήδειον εἰς τὸ πληρῶσαι τὸ σπουδαζόμενον ἐνόμισεν εἶναι τὴν Κίβαλιν, ἐν ᾗ καὶ Κωνσταντῖνος μάχην Λικιννίῳ συνάψας ἐνίκησε κατὰ κράτος.
