CHAP. VI. The Subduing of the Sarmatae, occasioned by the Rebellion of the Servants against their Ma∣sters.
BUt God himself * 1.1 prostrated the Sarmatae at the feet of Constantine; and subdued those men swelled with a Barbarick insolence, in this manner. For the Scythae having raised a War against them, the Sarmatae, that they might make a resistance against their enemies, armed their Slaves. After these Slaves had gained the Victory, they † 1.2 turned their Arms against their Masters, and drove them all from their own a 1.3 habitations. They found no other Port of safety, save only Constantine. Who, in regard 'twas his usage to preserve men, gave them all a reception within the confines of the Roman Empire. And those that were fit for Service, he enrolled amongst his own Military Com∣panies: But to the rest of them he distributed Grounds to be Tilled, in order to their pro∣curing necessaries for a Livelyhood. In so much that, they acknowledged their calamity to have been succesfull and fortunate to them; in regard, instead of a Barbarick Savageness, they enjoyed a Roman freedom. In this man∣ner God annext ‖ 1.4 very many Barbarous Nations to his Empire.

Fur∣ther, this Conspiracy of the Sar∣matae a∣gainst their Masters hapned on the year of Christ 334. In those Fasti which Ja∣cobus Sirmondus terms Idatius's, these words occur; Optato & Pau∣lino. His Coss. Sarmatae servi universa Gens Dominos suos in Roma∣niam expulerunt. Jerome agrees also in the Chronicon, who terms those Slaves of the Sarmatae, Limigantes. And so does Amm. Marcellinus.
