59:1
Igitur ad Orientem regressus, ibique, ut ab exordio principatus sui, summa cura summoque studio pulsis haereticis, Ecclesias catholicis tradere: idque ea moderatione agere, ut ultione contemta, tantum catholicis de Ecclesiarum restitutione consuleret, quo fides recta absque praedicationis impedimento proficeret: communem se praebere erga sacerdotes Dei: fide, religione, et munificentia cunctis regium animum exhibere: accessu facilis et absque imperiali fastu ad colloquium se humilibus praebere: hortatu ejus et largitionibus, Ecclesiae plurimis locis ornatae satis magnificeque constructae: praestare multa poscentibus, sed frequentius ultro offerre.
於是他歸回東方，在那裏，正如他執政之初一樣，以極大的關懷和熱心驅逐異端，把眾教會交還大公信仰的人；他這樣行又如此節制，竟撇棄報復，只為大公信仰的人謀求教會的恢復，好叫純正的信仰得以毫無攔阻地傳揚。他向神的祭司們顯出親和；他在信仰、宗教和慷慨上向眾人顯出帝王的胸襟；他平易近人，毫無帝王的排場，肯與卑微之人交談；藉他的勸勉和賞賜，許多地方的教會得了裝飾，建造得相當宏偉壯麗；他大量供給求告之人，卻更常主動施與。
Therefore, having returned to the East, there, as from the very beginning of his principate, with the utmost care and zeal he expelled the heretics and handed over the Churches to the catholics; and this he did with such moderation that, scorning revenge, he consulted only for the catholics concerning the restoration of the Churches, so that the right faith might advance without hindrance to its preaching. He showed himself common toward the priests of God; he displayed a royal disposition toward all in faith, religion, and munificence; he was easy of access and, without imperial pomp, offered himself to the humble for conversation; by his exhortation and largesses, the Churches in very many places were adorned and built sufficiently and magnificently; he furnished much to those who asked, but more often offered it of his own accord.
59:2
Idolorum cultus, qui Constantini institutione et deinceps negligi et destrui coeptus fuerat, eodem imperante collapsus est. Pro quibus in tantum Deo charus fuit, ut speciale ei munus contulerit divina providentia. Et enim in Thebaidos partibus monachum quendam Joannem nomine, spiritu prophetico replevit, cujus monitis atque responsis pacem retinere, an bellum gerere, esset melius, sciscitabatur.
偶像的敬拜，自君士坦丁立法時起及其後便開始被忽視和摧毀，在同一位皇帝統治下徹底傾倒了。為此他在神面前是何等蒙愛，以致神的眷顧賜給他一份特別的恩賜。原來在底比斯地區，神使一位名叫約翰的修士充滿了先知的靈，皇帝便藉他的勸誡和回答，求問究竟是守和平還是發動戰爭更為有益。
The worship of idols, which from the institution of Constantine and thereafter had begun to be neglected and destroyed, collapsed under the same emperor's reign. For these things he was so dear to God that divine providence conferred upon him a special gift. For in the parts of the Thebaid He filled a certain monk, John by name, with a prophetic spirit, by whose admonitions and answers the emperor would inquire whether it were better to keep peace or to wage war.
