Translation
In the Northern part of the Forum [sc. of Constantinople] there stood a cross, as Constantine saw it in the sky, covered with gold, with golden apples on the extremities; there also he himself and his sons were seen plated with gold.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Σταυρός· ἐπὶ τὸ Βόρειον τοῦ Φόρου μέρος σταυρὸς ἵστατο, ὡς εἶδεν αὐτὸν Κωνσταντῖνος ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, χρυσέμπλαστος, ἐν τοῖς ἀκρωτηριακοῖς στρογγύλοις μήλοις· ἔνθα καὶ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καθορῶντο χρυσέμβαφοι.
