Quotation ἐκ τούτου βουλεύεται Κωνσταντῖνος τὸν τοῦ ὕδατος ὁλκὸν ἀνακαινίζειν ὃν Βαλεντινιανὸς ὁ βασιλεὺς κατεσκεύασεν, ὐπὸ δὲ Ἀβάρων ἐπὶ τῶν Ἡρακλείου χρόνων τοῦ βασιλέως καταστραφέντα. καὶ πλείστους ἄνδρας τεχνίτας εἰς οἰκοδομὴν ἐμπείρους ἐκ τῆς ὑπὸ Ῥωμαίων ἀρχῆς συναθροίσας, πολλά τε δαπανήματα αὐτοῖς ἐκ τῶν δημοσίων χρημάτων προσαναλώσας, οὕτω τὸ τοιοῦτον ἔργον ἐτέλεσε.
Translation Consequently Constantine decided to renew the aqueduct which had been built by Emperor Valentinian and had been destroyed by the Avars (Ábaroi) in the days of Emperor Herakleios. He collected from the Roman (Rhōmaíōn) dominions a great number of artisans skilled in construction, on whom he lavished many allowances from the public treasury and so completed this work.
Summary Constantine V restored an aqueduct destroyed by the Avars.
