CHAP. XXVI. How the Emperour falling ill after his Victory, sent for his Son Honorius to Millain; and thinking himself somewhat recovered from his distemper, [he ordered] that * 1.1 Cirque-Sports should be exhibited, on which very day he dyed.

BUt, the Emperour Theodosius contracted an ill habit of body, from the troubles and disquietudes he underwent in this War. And supposing that his life would be ended by that distemper which was upon him, he was more sol∣licitous about the publick affairs, than [concer∣ned] at his own death, considering with him∣self, how great calamities do usually befall Sub∣jects after the death of their Emperour. Where∣fore, he sends forthwith for his Son Honorius from Constantinople, being desirous to settle * 1.2 the State of the Western Empire. After his Sons arrivall at Millain, he seemed to be somewhat revived from his distemper; and gave order for the celebration of Triumphant Cirque-Sports. And before Dinner he was very well, and was a Spectatour at the Cirque-Sports. But after Dinner he was taken very ill on a sudden, and could not come to see † 1.3 the Games. But, ha∣ving given his Son order to Preside at the Cirque-Sports, he died on the night following, in the Consulate of Olybrius and Probinus, on the seventeenth day of January. This was the first year of the two hundredth ninety fourth O∣lympiad. The Emperour Theodosius, lived sixty years; and reigned sixteen. This Book contains [an account of affairs transacted] during the space of sixteen years and eight months.
