Greek text · Dindorf 4:488

ἀλλʼ οὗτος μὲν ταύτῃ πη βεβλημένος ἔκειτο, ὁ δʼ ἀρετῇ πάσῃ θεοσεβείας ἐκπρέπων μέγιστος νικητὴς Κωνσταντῖνος σὺν παιδὶ Κρίσπῳ βασιλεῖ θεοφιλεστάτῳ καὶ κατὰ πάντα τοῦ πατρὸς ὁμοίῳ τὴν οἰκείαν ἑῴαν ἀπελάμβανον, καὶ μίαν ἡνωμένην τὴν Ῥωμαίων κατὰ τὸ παλαιὸν παρεῖχον ἀρχὴν, τὴν ἀπʼ ἀνίσχοντος ἡλίου πᾶσαν ἐν κύκλῳ κατὰ θάτερα τῆς οἰκουμένης, ἄρκτον τε ὁμοῦ καὶ μεσημβρίαν, εἰς ἔσχατα δυομένης ἡμέρας ὑπὸ τὴν αὐτῶν ἄγοντες εἰρήνην.

English · Claude translation

So he lay thus cast down. But Constantine, the most mighty victor, distinguished by every virtue of godliness, with his son Crispus, an emperor most dear to God and in all things like his father, recovered the East that was his own, and made the empire of the Romans one and united as of old, bringing under their peace the whole world round about, from the rising sun to the other part of the world, north and south alike, to the farthest limits of the declining day.
