<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 4363938, member: 96898&quot;]I assume the passage from Sozomen you cited answers this question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the link to Yavuz&#039; interesting dissertation – that&#039;s a thesis I really would like to see expanded and turned into a printed book!</p><p><br /></p><p>And, just as an addition: another early Latin version of this narrative is contained in&nbsp; Aldhelm&#039;s <i>De laude virginitatis </i>(composed c. 680–700 AD). This treatise is transmitted widely on the continent, too, and contains an episode that embellishes Sozomen&#039;s account by giving a detailed description of Constantine&#039;s dream vision.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is an English translation of <i>De laude virginitatis </i>in Aldhelm: The Prose Works, transl. M. Lapidge and M. Herren (1979), which recently was republished as an affordable paperback edition. Unfortunately, I don&#039;t have access to all my books at the moment due to the Corona crisis, but the original Latin can be found online in <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=B2mpmx6QFRoC&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;hl=de&amp;source=gbs_ge_summary_r&amp;cad=0#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=B2mpmx6QFRoC&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;hl=de&amp;source=gbs_ge_summary_r&amp;cad=0#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow">Patrologia Latina 89, col. 123–4</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
