THE barbarians having been put into possession of Thrace, and
securely enjoying that Roman province, were unable to bear their good
fortune with moderation; but committing hostile aggressions upon their
benefactors, devastated all Thrace and the adjacent countries. When
these proceedings came to the knowledge of Valens, he desisted from
sending the adherents of the homoousion into banishment; and in great
alarm left Antioch, and came to Constantinople, where also the
persecution of the orthodox Christians was for the same reason come to
an end. At the same time Euzoius, bishop of the Arians at
Antioch, departed this life, in the fifth consulate of Valens, and
the first of Valentinian the younger; and Dorotheus was appointed in
his place.
