He made a caruchareion for the praetorian prefect, having built hospices around it and having ordered the very poor prostitutes to stay in them for free. And the same Theodosius made the formerly so-called village of Rophaeina a city; which was renamed Theodosiopolis, that same 346 village having received from then on also the rights of a city until the present, during the consulship of Merobaudes and Saturninus. And the same Theodosius during his reign held the synod of the 150 bishops in Constantinople for the sake of the consubstantiality of the Holy Spirit. Likewise the same emperor Theodosius promoted the praetorian prefect Antiochus, surnamed Chuzon the great, originating from Antioch the great. And when he had just been promoted prefect, he reported to the same emperor Theodosius that the same great city of Antioch of Syria had been widened and had grown and has many buildings outside the walls for one mile. and the same emperor Theodosius ordered the buildings being outside the city also to be walled around; and a wall was made from the so-called Gate of His Friend to the so-called Rhodion; and the new wall encompassed the mountain up to the old wall that was built by Tiberius Caesar, and the new wall joined up to the stream called Phyrminus which comes down from the gorge of the mountain, having brought the stones from the old gladiatorial arena which was on the acropolis above, having dismantled also the aqueduct that went to the same acropolis from the so-called waters from the Laodicean road; which aqueduct Julius Caesar had made, having built the public bath 347 up on the mountain for the so-called acropolitans who had remained and lived above after those whom Seleucus the Macedonian, Nicator, had brought down into the city founded by him in the so-called valley; whom he also had invited to live with him in the lower city, Antioch the great. And at that time both Gindaros and Lytargon and many other towns of Syria received a wall. And during his reign the Tzannoi, having crossed over, came into Cappadocia and Cilicia and Syria; and they plundered and departed. And the same emperor Theodosius divided the new Epirus from the old and made it a province, giving the rights of a metropolis and a governor to the city of Dyrrhachium; and likewise he divided the second Palestine from the first and appointed a governor, giving the rights of a metropolis and a governor to the so-called city of the Scythians. And the same emperor Theodosius, having set out from Constantinople for Rome, entered the city of Thessalonica; and when the multitude of soldiers with him disturbed the city on account of billeting, the Thessalonians rioted and insulted the emperor. and during a horse-race in the same city, while the Hippodrome was full, he ordered them to be shot with arrows; and a multitude of fifteen thousand perished. and because of this, Ambrose the bishop, having become indignant at him, put him under an interdict; and he remained for many days not 348 entering the church, until the bishop, having been entreated, received him on the holy Nativity. But he did not receive him otherwise, until he issued a sacra, so that for any sentence issued by the emperor in anger, a delay of thirty days should be granted, and only then should what was commanded be carried out. And the same emperor, having also divided the second Galatia from the first, made it a province, giving the rights of a city and a governor to the city of Pessinus. And the same emperor Theodosius, having set out on a campaign going to war, fell ill at Mediolanum, and died there at Mediolanum, being 65 years old; and his remains were brought to Constantinople. And when Theodosius was about to die, having learned that Arcadius had gone to Rome to his brother Honorius who had fallen ill, he wrote to him to return to Constantinople for the sake of the East. and he having delayed

ἐποίησε καρουχαρεῖον τοῦ ἐπάρχου τῶν πραιτωρίων, κτίσας πέριξ ὁσπήτια καὶ κελεύσας δωρεὰν μένειν ἐν αὐτοῖς τὰς πάνυ πενιχρὰς πόρνας. ἐποίησε δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς Θεοδόσιος καὶ τὴν λεγομένην πρῴην κώμην Ῥοφαεινᾶν πόλιν· ἥτις μετεκλήθη Θεοδοσιούπολις, λαβοῦσα ἔκτοτε ἡ αὐτὴ 346 κώμη καὶ δίκαιον πόλεως ἕως τῆς νῦν, ἐπὶ τῆς ὑπατείας Μηροβαύδου καὶ Σατουρνίνου. Ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς Θεοδόσιος ἐπὶ τῆς ἑαυτοῦ βασιλείας ἐποίησε τὴν σύνοδον τῶν ρνʹ ἐπισκόπων τῶν ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὁμοουσίου τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος. ὡσαύτως δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς Θεοδόσιος βασιλεὺς προήγαγε τὸν ἔπαρχον πραιτωρίων Ἀντίοχον τὸν ἐπίκλην Χούζωνα τὸν μέγαν, καταγόμενον ἀπὸ Ἀντιοχείας τῆς μεγάλης. ἢ μόνον δὲ προήχθη ἔπαρχος, ἀνήγαγε τῷ αὐτῷ Θεοδοσίῳ βασιλεῖ ὅτι ἐπλατύνθη καὶ ηὐξήθη ἡ αὐτὴ μεγάλη πόλις Ἀντιόχεια τῆς Συρίας καὶ ἔχει πολλὰ οἰκήματα ἔξω τειχέων ἐπὶ μίλιον ἕνα. καὶ ἐκέλευσεν ὁ αὐτὸς βασιλεὺς Θεοδόσιος περιτειχισθῆναι καὶ τὰ ἔξω τῆς πόλεως ὄντα οἰκήματα· καὶ ἐγένετο τεῖχος ἀπὸ τῆς πόρτας τοῦ λεγομένου φίλον αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ λεγομένου Ῥοδίωνος· καὶ περιέλαβε τὸ ὄρος τὸ νέον τεῖχος ἕως τοῦ παλαιοῦ τείχους τοῦ κτισθέντος ὑπὸ Τιβερίου Καίσαρος, καὶ προσεκόλλησε τὸ νέον τεῖχος ἕως τοῦ ῥύακος τοῦ λεγομένου Φυρμίνου τοῦ κατερχομένου ἐκ τῆς διασφαγῆς τοῦ ὄρους, ἐνεγκὼν τοὺς λίθους ἐκ τοῦ μονομαχείου τοῦ παλαιοῦ τοῦ ὄντος εἰς τὴν ἀκρόπολιν ἄνω, λύσας καὶ τὸν ἀγωγὸν τὸν ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν ἀκρόπολιν ἀπὸ τῶν λεγομένων ὑδάτων ἐκ τῆς Λαοδικηνῆς ὁδοῦ· ὅντινα ἀγωγὸν ἐποίησεν Ἰούλιος ὁ Καῖσαρ, κτίσας τὸ δημόσιον 347 ἄνω εἰς τὸ ὄρος τοῖς λεγομένοις ἀκροπολίταις τοῖς ἀπομείνασι καὶ οἰκήσασιν ἄνω μεθ' οὓς κατήγαγε Σέλευκος ὁ Μακεδὼν ὁ Νικάτωρ ἐν τῇ πόλει τῇ κτισθείσῃ ὑπ' αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ λεγομένῳ αὐλῶνι· οὕστινας καὶ παρεκάλεσεν οἰκεῖν ἅμα αὐτῷ τὴν κάτω πόλιν Ἀντιόχειαν τὴν μεγάλην. ἐν ἐκείνῳ δὲ τῷ καιρῷ ἔλαβε τεῖχος καὶ Γίνδαρος καὶ τὸ Λύταργον καὶ ἄλλαι πολλαὶ κωμοπόλεις τῆς Συρίας. Ἐπὶ δὲ τῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλείας οἱ Τζάννοι περάσαντες ἦλθον εἰς τὴν Καππαδοκίαν καὶ Κιλικίαν καὶ Συρίαν· καὶ ἐπραίδευσαν καὶ ἀπῆλθον. Ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς βασιλεὺς Θεοδόσιος ἐμέρισε τὴν νέαν Ἤπειρον ἀπὸ τῆς παλαιᾶς καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐπαρχίαν, δοὺς δίκαιον μητροπόλεως καὶ ἄρχοντα ∆οῤῥαχίῳ πόλει· ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ δευτέραν Παλαιστίνην ἐμέρισεν ἀπὸ τῆς πρώτης καὶ ἐποίησεν ἄρχοντα, δοὺς δίκαιον μητροπόλεως καὶ ἄρχοντα τῇ λεγομένῃ Σκυθῶν πόλει. Ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς Θεοδόσιος βασιλεὺς ἀπὸ Κωνσταντινουπόλεως ἐξελθὼν ἐπὶ Ῥώμην εἰσῆλθεν ἐν Θεσσαλονίκῃ πόλει· καὶ τοῦ ὄντος μετ' αὐτοῦ στρατιωτικοῦ πλήθους διὰ μιτᾶτα ταράξαντος τὴν πόλιν, ἐστασίασαν καὶ ὕβρισαν τὸν βασιλέα οἱ Θεσσαλονικεῖς. καὶ θεωρήσας ἱππικὸν ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ πόλει γέμοντος τοῦ Ἱππικοῦ ἐκέλευσε τοξευθῆναι· καὶ ἀπώλετο πλῆθος χιλιάδων δεκαπέντε. καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἀγανακτήσας κατ' αὐτοῦ Ἀμβρόσιος ὁ ἐπίσκοπος ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν ὑπὸ κώλυμα· καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐπὶ πολλὰς ἡμέρας μὴ 348 εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, ἕως οὗ παρακληθεὶς ὁ ἐπίσκοπος εἰς τὰ ἅγια γενέθλια ἐδέξατο αὐτόν. οὐκ ἄλλως δὲ ἐδέξατο αὐτόν, ἕως οὗ ἐποίησε σάκραν, ἵνα οἱασδήποτε ἀγανακτήσεως παρὰ βασιλέως γινομένης ἔνδοσιν δίδοσθαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπιτρεπομένων τριάκοντα ἡμερῶν καὶ εἶθ' οὕτως γενέσθαι τὸ προσταχθέν. Ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς βασιλεὺς καὶ τὴν δευτέραν Γαλατίαν ἀπὸ τῆς πρώτης μερίσας ἐποίησεν ἐπαρχίαν, δοὺς δίκαιον πόλεως καὶ ἄρχοντα Πισινοῦντι τῇ πόλει. Ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς Θεοδόσιος βασιλεὺς ποιήσας πρόκενσον ἀπιὼν ἐπὶ πόλεμον, ἐν Μιζουλάνῳ ἠῤῥώστησε, καὶ τελευτᾷ ἐκεῖ ἐν Μιζουλάνῳ, ὢν ἐνιαυτῶν ξεʹ· καὶ ἠνέχθη τὸ λείψανον αὐτοῦ ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει. ὅτε δὲ ἔμελλε τελευτᾶν Θεοδόσιος, μαθὼν ὅτι εἰς Ῥώμην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἀρκάδιος πρὸς Ὁνώριον τὸν αὐτοῦ ἀδελφὸνἀῤῥωστήσαντα, ἔγραψεν αὐτῷ ὑποστρέψαι εἰς Κωνσταντινούπολιν διὰ τὴν ἀνατολήν. καὶ διατρίψαντος
