Ῥιχομήρους τοιγαροῦν ὡς τὸν βασιλέα Θεοδόσιον ἐκδημήσαντος, ἡ συνεχὴς συνουσία φίλον Ἀρβογάστῃ τὸν Εὐγένιον ἐς τὰ μάλιστα πεποίηκε, καὶ οὐδὲν ἦν ὃ μὴ ἐθάρρει τῶν σπουδαίων αὐτῷ. τότε δὴ τὸν Εὐγένιον τοῦτον λαβὼν κατὰ νοῦν, καὶ ὅτι διὰ παιδείας ὑπερβολὴν καὶ τὴν ἄλλην τοῦ βίου σεμνότητα πρὸς ἀγαθὴν βασιλείαν ἁρμοδιώτατος ἔσται, κοινοῦται μὲν αὐτῷ τὰ βεβουλευμένα, δυσαρεστοῦντα δὲ τοῖς λεγομένοις ἰδὼν ἐπέμενε θεραπεύων καὶ μὴ ἀποσείσασθαι τὰ δωρούμενα παρὰ τῆς τύχης αἰτῶν.
