Quo ita ut statutum est facto, lucis primo exortu, ipse egressus, cum invenisset eos in exercitu circumsaeptos: Quid de istis nefariis inquit proditoribus fieri oportere, contubernales devoti, censetis? Secutusque acclamationem rogantium, sanguine vindicari, eos qui inter Constantianos merebant, prisco more militibus dedidit occidendos, sagittariorum vero primoribus manus incidit, residuos supplicio capitali multavit, ad aemulationem Curionis, acerrimi illius ducis, qui Dardanorum ferociam, in modum Lernaeae serpentis aliquotiens renascentem, hoc genere poenarum extinxit.
