These things happened, and Gallus was dead. 4.2α Artemii Passio 15 unmittelbar nach ἐτεθνήκει ob. S. 58, 26: But Constantius, fearing for his affairs lest he alone be not able to be in control of the whole empire, especially since the Gauls were most keenly aroused to usurpation whenever they wished, on account of both their physical strength and the fickleness of their minds, now regretted having removed Gallus, and reasoning that a relative was far safer for partnership in the empire than a stranger and a foreigner, having summoned Julian, the brother of Gallus, from Ionia, he appointed him Caesar in Mediolanum; and having given him his own sister Helena in marriage and having made pledges with him, he sent this man to the Gauls to be the guardian of the empire there. 4.3α ebd. Folge But he himself, arriving in Illyricum, stayed in Sirmium. § 16 But hearing that the barbarians beyond the Ister were about to campaign against the Roman empire, departing from Sirmium, he crossed over to the Ister. And having spent no little time on its bank, since the formations of the barbarians were quiet, he again marched to Thrace. 6.5α Artemii Passio 19: But Constantius, having set out from Constantinople, made his way to Syria; and having reached the great city of Antioch, he encamped there, preparing for the war against the Persians. While he was lingering in the city and equipping his army, letters arrived for him reporting the revolt of Julian. For Julian, as has been shown by me before, when I was giving the account concerning these things, having been appointed Caesar by Constantius for the protection of the western regions in the Gauls, himself not enduring to be in the rank of Caesar any longer, both puts on the diadem and lays hold of the greater emperorship. But when he took charge of affairs, he no longer had any small thought nor did he think it right to delay; but wishing to bring under his own control for the time being all of Europe that is subject to the Romans, zu Z. 18 ff Artemii Passio 41 Julians Rede: And ... Constantius ... has murdered my brother Gallus ... and he wished to do the same to us ourselves, if we had not been saved by the providence of the gods. But the gods prevented it, having revealed my salvation to me by a vision; trusting in them, I renounced Christianity and turned to the Hellenic way of life, knowing well that the most ancient way of life of the Greeks and Romans, using good customs and laws, addresses as gods those who possess faithfulness from their deeds. having organized the army, he proceeded through the Germans to the Ister and, taking hold of the opposite bank, he marched through the regions there, eluding both prefects, the one of the Italies, Taurus by name, and the one of the Illyrians, Florentius. But when he was in the region of the Paeonians, having crossed the river to the other side, he immediately had under his control all the Illyrian land and the Italies and all the nations as far as the western Ocean, as many as were of the Roman dominion. §20 But Constantius, learning these things from the letters, was both disturbed as was likely and feared especially for Constantinople lest, which that man also intended,
