The paper deals with the origin of an episode recorded by Zosimus, in which the Emperor Valentinian I, following an intervention by Vettius Agorius Praetextatus, revoked his own constitution abolishing nocturnal sacrifices. The authorship of the episode is generally ascribed to Eunapius of Sardis, in the paper, however, the possibility is examined of the authorship of Nicomachus Flavianus through his unpreserved annales. The author finds this possibility acceptable, and hence he is further elaborating on the eventual consequences for our knowledge of these annales.

This article reacts to a recent attempt by Radislav Hošek to reinterpret Eunapius’ report on the gates of Greece having been open to Alaric ‘by the godlessness of those who wear the black robes’. According to the traditional interpretation it had been the Orthodox Christian monks, whom Eunapius had in mind, according to Hošek, however, these black robed individuals were to have been Thracian tribesmen, mentioned also by Plutarch. The article ponders the reasoning behind Hošek’s having abandoned the traditional interpretation and it appears unsubstantiated to the author. On the contrary, the arguments on which Hošek has based his new interpretation, in the author’s opinion come through as insufficient to justify the claim. Therefore, the article suggests a return to the traditional interpretation, which seems to mean less or even no inconvenience.
