παραδυναστεύων γὰρ αὐτῷ πίστει καὶ πραγμάτων ἐμπειρίᾳ προέχειν τῶν ἄλλων ἐδόκει: καὶ ἄλλως ὅσα ὁ βασιλεὺς οὐδενὸς εἰδότος ἄλλου πράττειν ἐβούλετο, τούτῳ κατ̓ ἐξαίρετον ἐγνώκει θαρρεῖν. ἐλθὼν οὖν ὡς τὸν Μάξιμον ὁ Δομνῖνος, καὶ ὅσα τῆς πρεσβείας ἦν ἀπαγγείλας, ἠξιοῦτο θεραπείας καὶ φιλοφροσύνης παντοίας: τιμῆς τε γὰρ αὐτὸν ὁ Μάξιμος ὑπερβαλλούσης ἠξίου, καὶ ὄγκῳ δωρεῶν ἐπλήρου τοσοῦτον ὥστε Δομνῖνον μηδένα τοιοῦτον ἔσεσθαι τῷ βασιλεῖ Οὐαλεντινιανῷ φίλον ὑπονοῆσαι.
