in Rome of the same emperor Arcadius to his brother the emperor Honorius, and likewise also having traduced him on the road, while Arcadius was coming to Constantinople, Gainas the senator usurped power, wishing to be emperor. and Arcadius arrived in Constantinople and killed the usurper Gainas. So after the reign of Theodosius the Great, the Spaniard, his son Arcadius reigned in Constantinople, having come 349 from Rome, for twenty-three years in all, leaving in Rome Honorius his younger brother. And he was very quick and energetic. and immediately upon arriving he made his son Theodosius the Younger emperor in Constantinople. This same Arcadius also created his own military unit, which he called the Arcadiaci. And having suddenly fallen ill, he died, being 31 years old. And after the reign of Arcadius his brother Honorius reigned in Rome for 31 years. And he was quick to anger and prudent. This same emperor closed the temple of Serapis-Helios in Alexandria the Great. And during his reign, when a great civil disturbance occurred in Rome, being angered, he departed to the city of Ravenna; and having sent, he brought Alaric the general from the Gallic provinces with a host, in order to plunder Rome. and Alaric, having come into the city, committed himself to the city and to the senators who were enemies of Honorius, and he did not harm any of the city's inhabitants, but rushing to the palace he took all the palace's valuables and Placidia, Honorius' paternal sister, being a young 350 virgin; and he again departed to the Gallic provinces, having seized power. But Constantius, being still a comes with Alaric, having been entrusted by him with the girl Placidia, was able to take her; and having fled from Alaric he brought her to the emperor Honorius. And Honorius, giving thanks to him, made him a senator, and gave Placidia to him as a wife, and made him emperor in Rome; from whom this same Constantius had a son, whom he called Valentinian. and Honorius, together with Constantius, during his reign destroyed the four usurpers Attalus and Sebastianus and Maximus and Constans, the senators, who rose up against him by misleading the people. And after they were killed and their property confiscated, leaving Constantius to reign in Rome, this same Honorius came to Constantinople, reigning with Theodosius the Younger. And Constantius, emperor of Rome, died a natural death during the reign and life of Honorius; and a certain senator named John, having usurped power, with the other senators making common cause with him, reigns in Rome. And when Honorius learned this, he went mad; and being struck by disease, he died of dropsy, being 42 years old. BOOK 14. OF THE REIGN OF THEODOSIUS THE YOUNGER UNTIL THE REIGN OF LEO THE LESSER. And after the reign of Honorius, the most divine Theodosius the Younger, the son of emperor Arcadius, brother of Honorius, reigned alone in the consulship of Stilicho and Aurelianus, having been crowned by his own father; and he reigned in all for 50 years and 7 months. who favored the Green faction and claimed them as his own in every city. And in Constantinople he moved them, who formerly watched on his right-hand side, and made them watch on the left-hand benches; and the foot-soldiers

ἐν Ῥώμῃ τοῦ αὐτοῦ βασιλέως Ἀρκαδίου πρὸς τὸν αὐτοῦ ἀδελφὸν βασιλέα Ὁνώριον, ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν διασύραντος, ἐν ὅσῳ ἔρχεται ὁ Ἀρκάδιος ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει, Γαϊνὰς ἐτυράννησεν ὁ συγκλητικός, θέλων βασιλεῦσαι. καὶ κατέφθασεν ὁ Ἀρκάδιος ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει καὶ ἐφόνευσε τὸν τύραννον Γαϊνάν. Μετὰ οὖν τὴν βασιλείαν Θεοδοσίου τοῦ μεγάλου τοῦ Σπανοῦ ἐβασίλευσεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ Ἀρκάδιος ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει ἐλθὼν 349 ἀπὸ Ῥώμης τὰ πάντα ἔτη εἰκοσιτρία, ἐάσας ἐν Ῥώμῃ Ὁνώριοντὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μικρότερον. ἦν δὲ περίγοργος καὶ ἐνδρανής. καὶ εὐθέως ἐλθὼν ἐποίησε βασιλέα τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ Θεοδόσιον τὸν μικρὸν ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει. Ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς Ἀρκάδιος ἐποίησε καὶ ἴδιον ἀριθμόν, οὓς ἐκάλεσεν Ἀρκαδιακούς. ἀῤῥωστήσας δὲ ἐξαίφνης τελευτᾷ, ὢν ἐνιαυτῶν λαʹ. Μετὰ δὲ τὴν βασιλείαν Ἀρκαδίου ἐβασίλευσεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ Ὁνώριος ἐν Ῥώμῃ ἔτη λαʹ. ἦν δὲ ὀργίλος καὶ σώφρων. Ὁ δὲ αὐτὸς βασιλεὺς ἔκλεισε τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Σεράπιδος Ἡλίου τοῦ ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ τῇ μεγάλῃ. Ἐπὶ δὲ τῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλείας ταραχῆς γενομένης δημοτικῆς ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ μεγάλης, ἀγανακτήσας ἀπῆλθεν εἰς Ῥάβενναν πόλιν· καὶ πέμψας ἤγαγεν Ἀλάριχον στρατηλάτην ἀπὸ τῶν Γαλλιῶν μετὰ πλήθους, ἵνα πραιδεύσῃ τὴν Ῥώμην. καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ Ἀλάριχος ἐν τῇ πόλει παρέθετο αὑτὸν τῇ πόλει καὶ τοῖς συγκλητικοῖς τοῖς ἐχθροῖς Ὁνωρίου, καί τινα τῶν τῆς πόλεως οὐκ ἔβλαψεν, ἀλλὰ ὁρμήσας εἰς τὸ παλάτιον ἐπῆρε πάντα τὰ τοῦ παλατίου χρήματα καὶ τὴν ἀδελφὴν Ὁνωρίου ἀπὸ πατρὸς Πλακιδίαν, μικρὰν οὖσαν 350 παρθένον· καὶ πάλιν ἀπῆλθεν αὐτὸς εἰς τὰς Γαλλίας τυραννήσας. Κωνστάντιος δὲ ἔτι κόμης ὢν μετὰ Ἀλαρίχου, πιστευθεὶς παρ' αὐτοῦ τὴν κόρην Πλακιδίαν, δυνηθεὶς ἔλαβεν αὐτήν· καὶ φυγὼν τὸν Ἀλάριχον ἤγαγεν αὐτὴν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ὁνώριον. καὶ εὐχαριστῶν αὐτῷ ὁ Ὁνώριος ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν συγκλητικόν, καὶ ἐξέδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν Πλακιδίαν εἰς γυναῖκα, καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν βασιλέα ἐν Ῥώμῃ· ἐξ ἧς ἔσχεν υἱὸν ὁ αὐτὸς Κωνστάντιος, ὃν ἐκάλεσε Βαλεντινιανόν. καὶ ἅμα Κωνσταντίῳ γενόμενος ὁ Ὁνώριος ἐπὶ τῆς αὐτοῦ βασιλείας ἀνεῖλε τοὺς τέσσαρας τυράννους Ἄτταλον καὶ Σεβαστιανὸν καὶ Μάξιμον καὶ Κώνσταν τοὺς συγκλητικούς, οἵτινες ἀντῆραν αὐτῷ ὑπονοθεύσαντες τὸν δῆμον. μετὰ δὲ τὸ φονευθῆναι αὐτοὺς καὶ τὰς οὐσίας αὐτῶν δημευθῆναι ἐάσας τὸν Κωνστάντιον ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ βασιλεύειν ἦλθεν ὁ αὐτὸς Ὁνώριος ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει βασιλεύων μετὰ Θεοδοσίου τοῦ μικροῦ. Ὁ δὲ Κωνστάντιος, βασιλεὺς Ῥώμης, τελευτᾷ ἰδίῳ θανάτῳ ἐπὶ τῆς βασιλείας καὶ ζωῆς Ὁνωρίου· καὶ τυραννήσας συγκλητικός τις ὀνόματι Ἰωάννης, τῶν ἄλλων συγκλητικῶν συμποιησαμένων μετ' αὐτοῦ, βασιλεύει ἐν τῇ Ῥώμῃ. καὶ γνοὺς τοῦτο ὁ Ὁνώριος ἐμάνη· καὶ νόσῳ βληθεὶς ὑδρωπιάσας τελευτᾷ, ὢν ἐνιαυτῶν μβʹ.

Μετὰ δὲ τὴν βασιλείαν Ὁνωρίου ἐβασίλευσε μόνος ὁ θειότατος Θεοδόσιος ὁ νέος, ὁ υἱὸς Ἀρκαδίου βασιλέως, ἀδελφοῦ Ὁνωρίου,ἐπὶ τῆς ὑπατείας Στελίχωνος καὶ Ἀβριλιανοῦ, ὑπὸ τοῦ ἰδίου πατρὸς στεφθείς· ἐβασίλευσε δὲ τὰ πάντα ἔτη νʹ καὶ μῆνας ζʹ. ὅστις ἔχαιρε τῷ Πρασίνῳ μέρει καὶ ἀντεποιεῖτο αὐτῶν κατὰ πόλιν. ἐν δὲ Κωνσταντινουπόλει μετήγαγεν αὐτούς, θεωροῦντας πρῴην εἰς τὰ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ μέρη, καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοὺς θεωρεῖν εἰς τὰ ἀριστερὰ βάθρα· καὶ τοὺς τῆς πεδατούρας στρατιώτας
