Τὴν μὲν οὖν βασιλείαν Θεοδόσιος πᾶσαν Οὐαλεντινιανῷ παρέδωκεν, ὅσην ἔτυχεν ἔχων ὁ τούτου πατήρ, καὶ τοῦτο περὶ τοὺς εὐεργέτας καθῆκον ἔδοξεν εἶναι: τῶν δὲ ὑπὸ Μαξίμῳ στρατευσαμένων ὅσον ἦν ἐπίλεκτον μετὰ τῶν οἰκείων ἀναλαβών, ἀφῆκε μὲν ἐκεῖνον τὰ περὶ τὴν Ἰταλίαν καὶ Κελτοὺς καὶ ὅσα τῆς ἐπικρατείας ἦν τῆς αὐτοῦ διαθήσοντα. συνῆν δὲ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτῷ, τὸ ἐλλεῖπον ἐν φρονήσει διὰ τὸ νέον τῆς ἡλικίας, καθ̓ ὅσον γυναικὶ δυνατὸν ἦν, ἐκπληροῦσα.
