ἐπεὶ δὲ ὁ δαίμων εἰς ἕτερόν τι τὴν τῶν πραγμάτων ἤγαγε τύχην καὶ μετὰ τὴν Ἰουλιανοῦ τελευτὴν Ἰοβιανὸς εἰς τὸν βασίλειον ἀναβέβηκε θρόνον, δραμὼν εὐθὺς ὁ Προκόπιος τὴν δεδομένην αὐτῷ βασιλικὴν ἐσθῆτα Ἰοβιανῷ παρέδωκεν, ὑπὸ τίνος τε εἴη λαβὼν ὡμολόγει, καὶ ἐξελιπάρει τὸν βασιλέα τῆς τε στρατείας ʽ??ʼὐτὸν ἀνεῖναι καὶ ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ συγχωρῆσαι βιῶναι, γεωργίᾳ καὶ ἐπιμελείᾳ τῶν οἰκείων ἐγκαρτεροῦντα. καὶ τούτου τυχὼν ἐπὶ τὴν Καισάρειαν, ἣ Καππαδοκίας ἐστίν, ἅμα γυναικὶ καὶ τέκνοις ἐχώρει, ταύτην οἰκεῖν ἐγνωκὼς οἷα ἐν αὐτῇ τὰ τίμια κτήματα ἔχων.
