might reach it, having made it subject to himself, he therefore hastened as much as possible to anticipate him. But while his army, scattered throughout the cities of the East, was being gathered for him and was about to be equipped for so great a journey, he signaled to the bishops to reach Nicaea as quickly as possible, having arrived beforehand; for he was planning to convene a second synod there, being urged on by the impious Arians against the homoousion. But when, having passed through Cilicia, he arrived at the so-called springs of Mopsus, a certain illness suddenly fell upon him and he was no longer able to go forward. And when he perceived that he was already in a bad way and would not live, he very quickly summoned Euzoius, the bishop of Antioch, and permitted him to baptize him. And having been baptized and surviving for a short time, he departed this life there, having reigned forty years in all, the first half with his father, and the remainder alone. 6.6a-7a☯ebd. Followed by The army, having lamented him and performed the customary rites over him, placed him in a coffin, having prepared the corpse with the usual things for preservation. And placing him in a carriage, they conveyed him to Constantinople, each following him with his own arms and in the same order in which they happened to be arranged under their leaders while he was alive. § 21 They for their part were heading to Constantinople, bringing the corpse; and Julian joined them, having come from the Illyrian provinces and already holding the entire empire securely, since no one dared to oppose him after the death of Constantius. And as the corpse was being carried to the church of the Apostles, where they were about to lay him beside his father, he himself led the bier, having removed the diadem from his head. But when they had buried him, as he was now departing for the palace, he put on the diadem again and was in control of affairs, having now alone taken on the whole empire of the Romans. Since, therefore, Constantius was out of the way, he cooled the boiling of his anger against those who remained and who had especially, through envy, provided the cause for the slaying of Gallus. And immediately he beheaded Eusebius the praepositus, because it appeared that he from the beginning, through his own slanders, had concocted the whole murder of Gallus; and he handed over to the fire Paulus the Spaniard, who was among the emperor's notaries, as one who had indeed been very bitter against Gallus. Both of these, therefore, he sent away to Chalcedon, and there he subjected each to his proper justice; and he also put to death Gaudentius, a general of Africa, and certain others, as many as had acted insolently toward him in any way. § 22 But these he punished by letters. 7.1α Artemii Passio 48: For Julian, long ago travailing in his soul with Hellenism from his associations in Ionia with the philosophers around Maximus, for as long as his brother was still alive and after him Constantius, he dared not reveal anything because of fear of them; but when they were gone from among men, and he was now master of affairs, then indeed, having thrown off his disguise into the open, he burst out all at once into Hellenism with all his enthusiasms. Ibid. 22: For Julian, as has been shown, having taken on the empire of the Romans, was especially eager to restore Hellenism. Therefore, sending letters everywhere, he commanded that the
