Rigore itaque instantium negotiorum anceps Constantius, quid capesseret ambigebat, diu multumque anxius, utrum Iulianum peteret et longinqua, an Parthos repelleret, iam transituros (ut minabantur) Euphratem, haerensque tandem cum ducibus communicato saepe consilio, in id flexus est, ut finito propiore bello vel certe mollito, nullo post terga relicto quem formidaret, Illyriis percursis et Italia (ut rebatur), Iulianum inter exordia ipsa coeptorum tamquam praedam venaticiam caperet. Hoc enim ad leniendum suorum metum subinde praedicabat.
