CHAP. LXX. That his Body was deposited at Constantinople, by his Son Constantius.
IN this manner, even these [Inhabitants of Rome] grac't this Emperour, who was ho∣noured by God. But the a 1.1 Second of his Sons▪ when he was come to the place where his Fa∣ther's Corps lay, conveyed b 1.2 [it] to the City [that bore his own name,] he himself going before the Hearse. The Companies of the Mi∣lice march't before, Troop by Troop in a Mi∣litary Order: and behind followed an innume∣rable multitude of people. But the Hastati and Scutarii surrounded the Emperour's Corps. When they were come to the Church of our Saviour's Apostles, they deposited the Coffin there. And thus the new Emperour Constan∣tius, honouring his Father, as well by his pre∣sence, as other befitting Offices, in a due manner performed * 1.3 his Funeral obsequies.
Notes
a 1.1
Constan∣tius Caesar, whom his Father had made Go∣vernour of the East, upon hea∣ring of his Father's sickness, had in great hast taken a journey, that he might see his Father before he died. But the vehe∣mency of his disease frustrated the Son's desire. For when he was arrived at Nicomedia, he found his Father dead; as Julian relates in his first Oration concerning the praises of Constantius, pag. 29. With Julian, the other Writers of History do likewise agree. Zonaras is the only Authour who relates, that Constantius Caesar, who was then at Antioch, arrived whilst his Father was yet living; and that he honoured him, when dead, with a most magnificent Fu∣neral. Vales.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The last word save one is added by the I earned, from conjecture as I think. Nevertheless, there seems to be something more wanting: and perhaps Eusebius wrote thus 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉to the City that bore his own name. Hence it appears, that Constantine's dead Body was kept at Nico∣media with all Imaginable honour and reverence, till the coming of Constantius Caesar. Who, after he was arrived at Nicomedia, con∣veyed his Father's Corps to Constantinople. Wherefore, the Author of the Alexandrian Chronicle is mistaken, who relates, that Constan∣tius came directly to Constantinople, and there celebrated his Father's Funeral. Vales.
