(7). Anonymus Valesius, 35. ‘‘Dalmatium filium fratris sui Dalmatii 
Caesarem fecit, ejus fratrem Annibalianum data ei Constantiniana 
filia sua regem regum et Ponticarum gentium constituit, ita ut Gallias 
Constantinus minor regebat, Orientem Constantius Caesar, Ilyricum 
et Italiam Constans, ripam Gothicam Dalmatius tuebatur, item Con- 
stantinus, cum bellum vpararet in Persas, in suburbano Constantino- 
politano villa publica juxta Nicomediam dispositam bene rem publicam 
filiis tradens obiit.” 
This is the arrangement existing immediately before Constantine’s 
death. Filiis tradens—without reference to Dalmatius—reminds us 
of the sentence in Eusebius’ Vita Constantini. 
Ripam Gothicam is interpreted by H. Richter to mean part of the 
territories on the Danube, corresponding to the modern Servia and 
Bulgaria. In any case there is a distinct difference on this point 
between Victor and Anon. Val. 
(8). Historia ecclesiastica tripartita (Cassiodori), mm., 12. “ Qui 
cum tres habuisset filios eos Caesares nuncupavit et singulos eorum 
per decennarios annos imperil sui principes esse constituit. Id est 
primum quidem filium sui nominis Constantinum Hesperiarum par- 
tium in Decennali suo fecit habere principatum: secundum vero avi 
nomine nuncupatum Constantium in vicennalibus suis Caesarem in 
oriente constituit; minorem vero Constantem in suis tricennalibus 
ordinavit.”’ 
This history professes to rest on Sokrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret. 
The present passage is a direct translation from Sokrates; and is in- 
correct as to the dates of the elevations of the three sons; év TH mpérn

“Ts successores filios reliquit atque unum Dalmatii fratris filium. Hi 
singuli has partes regendas habuerunt. Constantinus filius ejus primus 
in decennali suo ejus genitor fecit eum habere principatum super cuncta 
trans Alpes. Secundum Constantium in vicennali suo in oriente con- 
stituit a freto Propontidis in Asiam atque orientem. Constantem vero 
juniorem-in tricennalibus suis in Illyricum Italiamque et Africam 
ordinavit. Dalmatium in Thraciam Macedoniamque et Achaiam: 
Annibalianum Dalmatii Caesaris consanguineum in Armeniam natio- 
nesque circumsocias.” 
It is not hard to see that this account is compounded of Victor and 
Cassiodorus’ Ast. Kec. Trip. 
(10). Chronicon Alexandrinum. 
This late chronicle has two curious notices under Ol. 279: 
‘¢Constantinus junior imperavit Constantinopoli annum i. Constans 
Romae annos xIr. . .” 
‘‘Supra Dalmatium Caesarem fratris filium qui in Mesopotamiam 
et ipse tertium annum regnarat.’”’
