Mgbe ọnwụ Galerius gasịrị, Maximinus enweghịzi ihe mgbochi; o ji ịnụ ọkụ n' obi maliteghachi mkpagbu n' ókèala ndị dị n' ebe ọwụwa anyanwụ n' okpuru nchịkwa ya, na-agba ume ka a rịọ Ndị Kraịst arịrịọ.

Although the 'Edict of Milan' is really a letter of Licinius to the governors of the eastern provinces, it still represents an important sea change in the direction of imperial policy." Potter p. 149
