Quae familia hodie quoque, Constantine maxime, nobilissima est et per te aucta et augenda...

Would you please translate?

A rough translation would be:

Also this family today, great Constantine, a most noble one, has benefited and prospered through you...

The important thing is that the caluse "per te aucta" is used regularly in Latin to mean "prospered through you" and pften addrseed to the ruler (or to a deity).
