Et qui paulo antea cum insectatione malivola, orientis vorago, invadendaeque summae rei per filios affectator compellabatur, tunc dux prudentissimus, et Constantini magnus erat commilito, solusque ad extinguendum, probis quidem sed insidiosis rationibus petebatur.
So the man who shortly before with malicious slander was called the maelstrom of the East and a seeker after acquisition of imperial power through his sons, then became a most politic leader and mighty fellow-soldier of Constantines, and the only person to extinguish the fire; but he was really being attacked under motives honourable, to be sure, but yet insidious.
