Et inter cetera dicebatur id quoque maligne docuisse Constantium, quod in urbe praedicta aedificia cuncta solo cohaerentia, a conditore Alexandro magnitudine impensarum publicarum exstructa, emolumentis aerarii proficere debent ex iure.
And, among other matters, it was said that he maliciously informed Constantius also of this, namely, that all the edifices standing on the soil of the said city had been built by its founder, Alexander, at great public cost, and ought justly to be a source of profit to the treasury.
