CHAP. XIX. Concerning his Son Constantine, who when a young man, came into Palestine together with Dio∣cletian.
FOr he convers't with the Emperours [who were his Father's] Colleagues; and made his Residence amongst them, agreeable to that ancient Prophet of the Lord Moses, as we have already said. a 1.1 And ha∣ving newly past over his years of childhood, and ar∣rived at those of his youth, he was vouchsafed the highest honour and esteem amongst the foresaid Emperours. At which Age of his we Our Selves saw him, when he past through the Province of Pa∣lestine, in Company with the Senior Augustus. At whose right hand he stood, and appeared a most excellent and glorious person to those who were desirous of seeing him, and such a one as even then gave indications of an Imperial height of mind. For, as to the beautifull shape of his body, and his tallness of Stature, there was no other person that might be compared to him. Moreover, he so far excelled his equalls in strength and courage, that he was a ter∣rour to them. But he was far more illu∣strious and eminent for the Virtues of his mind, than for his bodily endowments and ac∣complishments. And in the first place he beautified his mind with modesty; after that, with Polite Literature; and as well an innate prudence, as a wisdome infused from above, b 1.2 adorned him in a most transcendent man∣ner.
Notes
a 1.1
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. I think the reading should be, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c; which we have exprest in our Version. In∣deed, in Moraeus's Copy the particle 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is written at the margin. Tur∣nebus, at the margin of his Copy, had mended it, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. In the Fuketian Manuscript the reading is, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. I read 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, adorned, as Eusebius does usually speak. And so 'tis mended in the old Sheets, at the margin. In the Fuketian Manuscript 'tis written thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Vales.
