Note 095
This transaction is related in the public
history (Goth. l. ii. c. 8) with candor or caution; in the
Anecdotes (c. 7) with malevolence or freedom; but
Marcellinus, or rather his continuator, (in Chron.,) casts a
shade of premeditated assassination over the death of
Constantine. He had performed good service at Rome and
Spoleto, (Procop. Goth l. i. c. 7, 14;) but Alemannus
confounds him with a Constantianus comes stabuli.]
