Qui crebro adiurans, animam prius posse amittere quam sententiam, muneratus cum comitibus quos duxerat redit ad regnum, nihil ausus temerare postea promissorum, obligatus gratiarum multiplici nexu Constantio, inter quas illud potius excellebat, quod Olympiada (Ablabi filiam), praefecti quondam praetorio, ei copulaverat coniugem sponsam fratris sui Constantis.
And the king, swearing with many an oath that he could sooner give up his life than his resolve, after receiving rewards returned to his kingdom with the retinue that he had brought with him; and after that he never dared to violate any of his promises, being bound to Constantius by many ties of gratitude, among which this was especially strong'that the emperor had given him to wife Olympias, daughter of Ablabius, a former praetorian prefect, and the betrothed of his brother Constans.
