καὶ τῶν Κωνσταντίου δὲ στρατηγῶν εἰς ἀνάμνησιν τῆς ἀνδρείας καὶ τῆς Ῥωμαίων δόξης ἐπανελθόντων, νυκτός τε βαθείας οὔσης, ἔπαιον ἀλλήλους δόρασί τε καὶ ξίφεσι καὶ παντὶ τῷ προσπίπτοντι καὶ εἰς χεῖρας ἰόντι: καὶ οὔτε τὸ σκότος οὔτε ἕτερόν τι τῶν εἰωθότων ἀνακωχὴν πολέμου ποιεῖν ἔπαυσε τὰ στρατόπεδα τοῦ φονᾶν κατ̓ ἀλλήλων καὶ ἐν εὐτυχήματι μεγίστῳ ποιεῖσθαι τὸ σὺν ἀλλήλοις ἅπαντας ἄρδην ἀποθανεῖν.
