having grown in Italy, after he conquered the power with barbaric force,-he reigned<br />
for 10 years; he lived in the prosperous and good Ravenna of Italy, located by the<br />

Return of Zeno twenty months after his expulsion: Procop. Vand.I.7 p.195 B and<br />
Basiliscus having the kingly power for a year and eight months [of the 20 months<br />
Theophanes p.103 B] and the others as all say and the soldiers of the court they<br />
were coming for the magnitude of the love of money. And Zeno understanding these<br />
he raised an army he went against him. And Basiliscus countered Zeno by sending<br />
an army under general Armatus, and as soon the camped nearby, Zeno was<br />
surrendered to Armatus his army; at this point Basiliscus made his own son child-<br />
Caesar, because he was under care (minor) and after his death (Basiliscus) he will<br />
succeed him at the throne. And Basiliscus after he had been deserted by everybody<br />
he took refuge to the altar etc. – And Zeno immediately, after he received the reign<br />
and he declared faith to Armatus, and after Basiliscus his own son had declared as<br />
Caesar, not long after he infracted the honor and killed Armatus. And he sent<br />
Basiliscus to Cappadocia in the winter, along with his child and wife without food<br />
and clothes and he ordered not to have any other care. There, suffering from the<br />
cold and famine –they died. Evagr. III.8 Zeno-after he had the power for two years<br />
he expelled Basiliscus etc.-no more than two years Agathias IV p.139 D. The facts<br />
are related in Theodorus Lector p.556.557 Theophanes p.107 Cedrenus p.351 D 352 A<br />
and in a long narrative in Chron. Pasch. P.325.326 which is also in Malalas XV p.88-<br />

slaughtered along his all family. Conf. Jornandem de regn p.709. For Malchus<br />

Negotiations of Odoacer and Nepos with Zeno are<br />
related in the history of Malchus: leg. p.93 C Augustus<br />
the son of Orestes after he heard [lege cum Niebuhrio<br />
after Odoacer heard] that Zeno has reoccupied the<br />
reign of East again after Basiliscus left, he forced the<br />
counsel to send delegation (deputation) to ensure<br />
Zeno that he does not need the title of Emperor for<br />
himself etc.-however Odoacer was presented by them<br />
as being capable of saving their own things-and Zeno<br />
needs (must) to confer him the title of patrician and<br />
to bestow upon him (confer) the administration of<br />
Italians. And men from the counsel of Rome arrived<br />
in Byzantium conveying these words, and at these<br />
days, messengers of Nepos (arrived) to inform Zeno<br />
for the events which took place etc. Zeno supports the<br />
claim of Nepos: and Zeno was listening to the bad<br />
things that were happening to Nepos and he was<br />
pitying him-at the same time even Verina was urging<br />
him, thus helping the wife of Nepos, who was a<br />
relative of hers. These negotiations do not belong to<br />

Theophanes, who had [laved the expulsion of Zeno in his first year (conf.a.476), places<br />
his return in the third-at this year Illus etc. All these therefore date the return of Zeno in<br />
476, one year too high. In Chron. Pasch. P.325 B by Illus alone (sole) (A.D.478). at<br />
this year king Zeno returned-one year too low. For, as Zeno was expelled in Nov. 475<br />
(for we learn the month from Malalas), the twenty months (the second year current) will<br />
bring his restoration to July 477 and the death of Basiliscus to the winter following. The<br />
death of Armatus is related by Theophanes p.107 C in the year of the return of Zeno, by<br />
Malchus and Candidus before the revolt of Marcian. Evagr. III.24 and Zeno, with Illus<br />
concurrence (agreement) retracted Armatus etc.-and he came to Byzantium on the one<br />
hand he assassinates Armatus and on the other hand he appoints his son Basiliscus as<br />
priest instead of Caesar; who later he was honored as archbishop [bishop in Cyzicus<br />
Chron. Pasch. P.326 D Malal. P.93]. Candidus apud Phot.p.176 and after Armatus was<br />
bribed by the wife, Basiliscus was raised to a large dynasty (obtained great power)<br />
[conf. Suidam p.577 B Armatus. Ex Candido, ut videtur], and because later he infracted<br />
the agreements for was against Zeno (convinced) by Illus and he prospered during<br />
Zeno, even he saw his son Basiliscus as Caesar; but later he was slaughtered, and the<br />
child of the Caesar celebrated at the Lectors of Blachernas Conf. Malalas XV p.92.<br />
Placed in Chron. Pasch. P.326 C at 484 Theodorico et Venantio cos. A metachronism of<br />
7 years. The death of Armatus was described by Malchus: conf.a.473.3. And Suidas<br />

VI. 37 y 3 m from 19 ))ct.439 will place the death of Genseric in Jan. 477. Confirmed by<br />
the reign of Huneric, whose 8 th year was current in Feb.484 (conf.a.483.484). Therefore<br />
his 1 st was current in Feb.477. Procopius Vand. I.7 p.196 A erroneously gives Genseric<br />
39 years at Carthage: after Genseric survived for a short while [after the treaty in 475],<br />
died after he had become old, he left wills in which he imposed many things on the<br />
Vandals; as about the reign (kingdom) concerned it should always to go to the one<br />
who descents from a male heir of Genseric’s family, who will happen to be the oldest<br />
from all his relatives [conf. Jornandem Get.c.33]. After Genseric reigned Vandals,<br />
when they were ruling Carthage, for 37 years passed away.-Huneri, the eldest of his<br />
children succeeded him in the power. Isidorus Chron.p. 733 ascribes to him 40 years<br />
current from the beginning of his reign in 429. conf.a.429.484. That Huneric in 478 had<br />
already reigned some time appears from Malchus Leg. p.95 C at this year [sc. 478: see<br />
Malchus quoted at A.D.478] ambassadors from Carthgage arrived to Byzantium whom<br />
were being led by Alexandrus, the guardian of the wife of Olybrius; whom Zeno<br />
happened to have sent him in the past, and Placidia wanting (concurring) as well- the<br />
mabassadirs were saying that Huneric will become a friend of the king<br />
unadulteratedly (honestly) etc.-and indeed they abstained form every war, and after<br />
the death of Ginseric because they became indolent they were not as powerful as<br />
previously Alexander was probably at CP. in Nov. 478: Cod. Justin.IX.35,11.

Theoderic son of Triarius: Malchus leg.p.94 C at the following year [sc. The year after<br />
the negotiation of Odoacer and Zeno] ambassadors from Thrace of the under truce<br />
Goths arrived to Zeno-demanding from Zeno to make truce (libations) with Theuderic<br />
the son of Triarius, who wants to pass a quiet life-and they also demanded to<br />
investigate whatever damaged the Romans when he was an enemy and whatever<br />
Theoderic, the son of Balamirus when he was a general and friend (ally) destroyed the<br />
cities.–immediately then the king he convoked the consuls he asked fopr their opinion<br />
what he needs to do etc. It is determined p.95 A Theoderic is an enemy of Romans and<br />
everything he fought against. However, Zeno did not reply to them immediately, but he was<br />
abstained until he will hear more from others. As Odoacer treated in 477(conf.a.), the following<br />
year will mean 478. Theoderic marches against CP. Theophanes p.108 Zenonis 4 o at this year<br />
happened a terrible earthquake in CP. [conf.a.480] on 25 th September of the 1 st indiction [conf.<br />
Cedrenum p.352 D]-at this year Theoderic the son of Triarius and also called Strabos (Blind),<br />
nephew of the wife of Asparus [conf.a.471]-revolted against Zeno with a crowd of<br />
barbarians, accepting (supporting) Basiliscus [Malchus leg.94I and the people of<br />
reigning city stirred up in favor of Basiliscus] and he became his general. After the<br />
return of Zeno to Thrace, he moved out from there revolted and he plundered everything in<br />
Byzantium up to the entrance of the gulf; consequently, because he had in mid that he will be<br />
betrayed by his relatives-and he returned etc. From Evagrius III.25 and Theoderic revolted<br />
against Zeno etc.-and he looted everything up to the entrance of the gulf- he captured the<br />
reigning city only for a short while, because some of the people who allied with him on purpose<br />
were thinking of assassinating him; because he knew that his own people were thinking badly<br />
he returns back. In this year, because after the return of Zeno; and we may date this marsh after<br />
the rejection of the overtures of Theoderic. Placed in the 4 th of Zeno 477 by Theophanes because<br />
he had placed the return of Zeno at 476.<br />
War of the two Theoderici: Malchus leg.p.89 A and Zeno after proposed (appointed)<br />
Martianus as general-send immediately men to Balamirus saying that he should not<br />
waste time not fighting, but he should take action and to fulfill the expectations coming<br />
with the appointment at the generalship of the Romans; and after he heard these ssend<br />
ambassadors to Byzantium saying that he will not attempt any prior action, if the king and the<br />
senate not swear that nothing bad will happen to Triarius.-and after they all agreed<br />
unanimously he decided to move with all his force against Theoderic, in the city which was<br />
founded by Marianus, he invades in it; s when he arrived at the gates of Haimos, then he meets<br />
with and mixes together with 2000 cavalry and 10,000 hoplites of the general of Thrace; and<br />
after he crossed Haimos he met with another force near to Evros and Adrianople consited of<br />
20,000 foot soldiers with 6,000 cavalry etc –and then Theoderic took his own army and he does<br />
to the gates, where exactly he was concentrating; and after he arrived neither the general of<br />
Thrace responded nor the ones from Evros who as they say where have setting a trap etc. –<br />
Refereed to by Theoderic in his conference in 479 apud Malchum p.83C. The two Gothic chiefs<br />
make peace: malch. P.90 A and Triarius was continuously riding on a horse to his camp he was<br />
calling names and he was threatening a lot, and he was calling him traitor and foolish child<br />
and an enemy and traitor of their own nation, who will not come into agreement with the<br />
Romans Ithey will not concur)-that they want to remain quiet and waste time with the Goths<br />
etc.-and they signed accords not to fight against each other. On this account Zeno concludes a<br />
treaty with the son of Triarius : malch. P.90 D-91 B and the king removed Balanirus from the<br />
generaship and he appoints Theoderic as a general. Perhaps in the beginning of 479.<br />

place between Zeni9 and Marcian, Marcian prevailed fully, and he was guarding all<br />
the allies of Zeno in the kingdoms, with the cooperation of his brothers Romulus and<br />
Procopius; later while they were taking a bath in Zeuxippus they were captured. And<br />
Marcian after he ordained by Acacius priest he was sent to Papyrius castle. And after a<br />
while they also sent Verina. Romulus and Procopius escaped to the west they were<br />
saved themselves. Conf. Evagrium III.26 Theophanem p.109 A. Related by Candidus<br />
apud Phot. Cod.79 p.177 in his second book: civil war took place against Zeno, Marcian<br />
and Procopius, sons of the reigned Rome Anthenius, being at the leading; and after<br />
Zeno prevailed through Illus (with the assistance) Marcian was ordained and<br />
Procopius escaped to Theoderic in Thrace. And Marcian who was exiled in<br />
Cappadocia, managed to escape and troubled Galatia in Ankara; later he was arrested<br />
and was sent to Isauria to live. Malchus leg. p.87 Zeno many times was demanding<br />
strongly to send Procopius and Busalbus to Theoderic- and he always used to say that<br />
he will obey the king, but it is not fair to extradite to Goths impromptu-suppliant<br />
humans;-and these were given a small part of land and lived with theoderic. Placed by<br />
Theophanes p.109 A two years after the return of Zeno: Zenonis 5 o at this year Narcian-<br />
revolted. This date, when rectified (conf.a.478), will give A.D.479 for the revolt. That<br />
it was some time before the death of Theodoric appears from Malchus p.87. That it<br />
preceded the death of Nepos A.D.480 may be inferred from Malchus and Photium:<br />
conf.a.473.3. After the revolt of Marcianus Theoderic son of Triarius had advanced to<br />
CP.: Malchus leg. p.86 B revolt by Marcian took place and some others, Theoderic, son<br />
of Triarius, after he was informed the events and took the necessary time to stand<br />

by Malchus leg.p.78A-86A, is rightly referred by Vales. Ad Malchum p.82 A B.<br />
Malchus describes p.79 Stobi taken, Thessalonica besieged, the march of Theoderic to<br />
Heraclea, the acquisition of Epidamnus by a stratagem: p.80.81. Meanwhile Adamantius<br />
arrives at Edessa: p.82 he coming from Thessaloniki arrives to Edessa where was<br />
Sabinianus.-And they provide him the tablets [sc. Sabiniano] and they declared him a<br />
general.-His conference with Theoderic:p.83. who desires to winter in Epirus: p.84 but<br />
now they came to winter there.-and him arranging everything for this purpose, in the<br />
spring he sent the leader of Dardania-they followed. The winter of 479/80.<br />
Sebastianus gains an advantage, and the negotiation is broken off by Zeno: p.5.85. It<br />
appears p.84 that the Goths in Thrace are at this tome hostile to Zeno, and that Nepos is<br />
still living: to promise-to exterminate all the Goths in Thrace-and he was ready, if the<br />
king orders, and to depart to Dalmatiato crash Nepos.<br />

is exiled; and later while he was associated with some<br />
monks he was realized that he wanted to escape. And<br />
he was sent by the king to Tarsus of Cilicia and after<br />
he had his hair cut he was ordained as a priest. And<br />
Eustathius from Syros has written these elegantly.<br />
The term after these may not mean literally” after the<br />
death of Theoderic son of Triarius” (which Evagrius<br />
had described p.354 D) as Valesius understands is to<br />
mean; but only “after the march to CP. in 478” which<br />
Evagrius had related p.354 C. Eustathius also told<br />
following event: Evagr.III.27 C. he himself writes to<br />
Zeno that the mother-in-low Verina devised 10,000<br />
plots and after these he sent her to the land of Cilicia;<br />
later, he transferred her to the so-called Papyrius<br />
fortress, where Illus was ruling, and immediately she<br />
passed away (literally let down this life ) And as<br />
about Illus concerned Eustathius writes more or less<br />
eloquently, that since he was plotting against Zeno he<br />
escaped [A.D.483]-and by associating Leo Marsus<br />
(Malchus?) [conf. Damascium apud Phot. Cod. 242 p.<br />
1072 Candidum apud Phot. P.177 Malchum apud<br />
Suid.p.2823 BC] an excellent (tested) man and<br />
Paprepius [conf.a.484] he was arrived at the lands of<br />
East. After the Leo’s ascension (enthronement)<br />
which had taken place in Tarsus of Cilicia; and as<br />
they were usurped the leadership, Theoderic,<br />
[conf.a.484.2] a Goth by descent, and also an officer<br />
of the Romans, was sent against them, with native<br />
(Roman) and foreign force. In particular,<br />
Eustathius reports wisely about the ascended<br />
cowardly instead of having the approval of Zeno; and<br />
because Theoderic felt the plot against Zeno he<br />
departs for the respected Rome [A.D.489]. His<br />
history ended at the 12 th of Anastasius: conf.a.503.<br />

Balas or Palasch succeeds Firoze. Agathias IV.27 p.137C-138 A having described the<br />

him, a daring (courageous) man but very warlike.-He was killed at the campaign<br />
against tNephtalites.- along with him the army was destroyed at the 24 th year of the<br />
reign, and he finishes his life without glory, just as he was outmaneuvered by the<br />
Huns.-And as about their brother Balas concerned after he ascended to power<br />
nothing seems worth writing in wars and the battle arrangement, because was not<br />
only meek and having mild manners-but also because he lived a short life; he spent<br />
on power only four years. For this purpose Cabbades son of Firoze, who fought<br />
many wars against the Romans, he erected trophies against the neighboring<br />
barbarians. Theophanes p.91 C 106 D assigns to Firoze 24, to Balas 4 years; and<br />
Syncellus p.360 D, although transposing the names. Abulpharajius p.92 agrees with<br />
Agathias in the time of the accession of Firoze: sum initium imperatii Leonis regnavit<br />
in Persas Phiruz Yazdejirdi filius annos XXVII. The reign of Firoze his wars with the<br />
Scythians and his death are related by Procopius Pers. I.3 p.9A-14A. Agathias<br />
computes 78 y 4 m from the death of Sapor at the close of 379 to the accession of Firoze:<br />

The accession of Firoze at the beginning of 458. We may assume that his 24 years were<br />
nearly completed, which will bring his death to the beginning of 482 and not later. Balas<br />
reigns 4 years. But Cabades did not begin to reign till the autumn of 486 (conf.a.)-an<br />
interval from the death of Firoze of about 4 y 6 m instead if 4 years. To reconcile this we<br />
may suppose an interregnum after the death of Firoze. That the accounts of this<br />
period varied we learn from Agathias IV.30. p.141.C although Procopius the<br />

patricii factione imperium in Isauria sum tyrannide sumit. And by Theophanes, who<br />
relates the facts under the preceding years: p.109C-110D Zenonis 6 o Illus informed king<br />
Zeno to expel his mother-in-low Verine from the city.-p.110D Zenonis 7 o the patrician<br />
Illus along wih Leo and with the rest arrived at thePapurius fortress, and after he<br />
exported (took out, transferred) Augusta Verina to Tarsus of Cilicia he forced her to<br />
crown-king Leo the patrician; And Augusta Verina wrote an imperial epistle to<br />
Antiochians of Syria to accept Leo as ling; and to all the archons of the East and Egypt<br />
and Libya she (also) wrote imperial epistles.-p.111 B Zenonis 8 o and after they received<br />
the imperial epistles of the Augusta and they read them-they accepted it and declared<br />
Leo as king. Zenonis 9 o Illus and Leo they set free Loginus, Zeno’s brother, and his<br />
mother from the fortress. And there Verina fell sick and died. P.111 D Zenonis 10 o and<br />
Illus entered Antioch as king on 27 th June of the 7 th indiction-and Zeno send Joannes<br />
the Scythian against Illus and Leo with a large force.- And after a violent war (battle)<br />
took place Illus and leo were defeated the took refuge to the Papurius fortress with<br />
Pamprepius [see col. 3] who they were saying that he was a great magician. P.112 C<br />
Zenonis 11 o Theuderic-Zeno he recalled (him) from Thrace to Byzantium and after he<br />
declared him as the consul of Thrace, he sent him and Joannes the Scythian against<br />
Illus; who, after Illus and Leo were blocked in Papurius fortress, he left Joannes to<br />
besiege them and he returned to Zeno. June of the 7 th indiction is June 484, and confirms<br />
the date of Marcellinus. Illus might be sent into East by Zeno two or three years before his<br />
revolt; but the transactions distributed into four years 480-483 by Theophanes-the elevation<br />
of Leontius at Tarsus, the letters of Verina, their acceptance in the provinces, the entry into<br />
Antioch, the mission of Joannes,-probably all occurred in one year, the 7 th indiction, when<br />
Theoderic was consul. As the mission of Joannes was after June 484, his victory, which<br />
Theophanes records in 483, must he referred to the close of 484 or beginning of 485.<br />

Zeno to expel for the city Verina, who had great<br />
power. And he comes to Pergamum of Mysia.<br />
And Illus, convinced by the prediction to receive<br />
the man, he sent to receive him in Isauria, and he<br />
makes him an advisor and roommate (live in the<br />
same house),-and arriving in Byzantium he<br />
received him; and when took place the revolt of<br />
Marcian [A.D.479] while Illus was lost he<br />

etymological interpretations, cataloguing the<br />

Pamprepius in a short time appeared to be learned<br />
and very educated; so he was continuously striving<br />
as much about the other education as about poetry<br />
and grammar to render him wise. He was an<br />
Egyptian, and after he practiced poetry in his own<br />
country subsequently in Athens he arrived.<br />

records an eclipse which happened 13 Jan. 484;<br />

death of Euric is rightly placed in 485 by Victor Tun. Post consulatum<br />

efficitur. Regnat annis XXIII. The 19 th of Euric commenced at the close of 484:<br />
conf.a.466. and was therefore current in the beginning of 485. Isisdorus Chron.<br />

Alaricus filius wjus apud Tolosam urbem princeps Gothorum constituitur,<br />

Jornandes. If his 17 th year was current in the 10 th of Zeno and the 521 st of the<br />

p. 2386 A Malchus Byzantius, a sophist, wrote tye history<br />
from the reign of Constantinus until Anastasius; in which<br />
(history) he reports mildly about the Zeno and Basiliscus and<br />
the arson of the public library and the statutes of Augustus<br />
and various others. The Byzantiaca read and described by<br />
Photius included only eight years A.D.473-480, the last year<br />
of Leo and the first years of Zeno (conf.a.473), and probably<br />
was not a distinct work but formed a part of the larger history.<br />
Candidus lib. III included the death of Zeno: Phot. Cod. 79<br />
p.177 and the third includes other things and Illus revolted<br />
openly against Zeno he with Verina crowned as king Leo<br />
[A.D.488]-and other things until the death of Zeno. Suidas<br />
v. Zeno p.1581.1582 has some passages describing Zeno<br />
which are referred by Niebuhr after Valesius to Malchus : but<br />
which may just as probably be referred to Candidus.<br />
Eustathius (conf.a.479) apud Evagrium III. 29 treats of this<br />
epoch: Zeno died from epilepsy at the 17 th year of his reign,<br />
childless-Ariadne crowns Anastasius.-reports Eustathius<br />
after the ruling of Diocletian until the death of Zeno and the<br />
inauguration (elevation) of Anastasius elapsed 207 years.<br />
And from the August monarchy 522 years by seven months;<br />
and from the reign of Alexander the Macedon (Great) 832,<br />
similarly and seven months; and from the reign of Roman<br />
and Romulus reign 1052 [adde and 200] and surely and<br />
seven months; and from troy demise of Troy seven months.<br />
All these periods are deduced from September. The first<br />
period, the 207the year current, is exact. The other give the<br />
following numbers.<br />

Romans 5969, and according to the precise and true<br />
decision of Alexandrians 598, and from the reign of<br />
Diocletian 207 and from the divine incarnation 483, of<br />
the 14 th indiction. The indiction and the year of<br />
Diocletian are accurate. The 207 th year and the 14 th<br />
indiction both commenced in Sept. 490 and were current<br />
at the accession of Anastasius in April 491. But A.M.<br />
3988 A.D. 483 fell upon the 6 th indiction, and<br />
Theophanes has committed a prochronism of eight<br />
years. conf.a.284.<br />
The actual period from the elevation of Diocletian Sept.<br />
17 A.D. 284 to the elevation of Anastasius Ap. 11<br />

who was possessing the power of the magister-he sent forth to the beloved; apparently<br />
after many other Isaurians asked for it. III.35 Longinus, Zeno’s consanguineous-he<br />
restarts the war against the emperor openly, and many gathered forces from here and<br />
there, with whose Croton happened to be with, he became bishop of the province of<br />
Apamia of Syria, he co-expedited with Isaurians as an Isaurian. Theodorus Lect.p.558<br />
D 559 D A he ejected everybody from the city. The king sent an army against them led<br />
by Joannes the Scythian and Joannes the crooked. These events are placed in the 1 st<br />
and the 2 nd years of Anastasius by Theophanes p.117.118. Anastasii 1 st at this year-<br />
Longinus, Zeno’s brother, revolted; whom he arrested and sent to Egypt-and being<br />
suspicious of the magister Longinus the king stopped (deposed) the Isaurians about<br />
the magister Longinus. Anastasii 2 nd king Anastasius expelled the Isaurians of CP<br />
from many improprieties; (as soon as) they exited thought of revolt. Longinus the<br />
magister gathered them along with other force consisted of barbarians and thieves,<br />
about 15,000-arrived in the land of Isaurians, discouraging the exit (escape) of the<br />
king.-Immediately, he revolted and he departed for Phrygia and Cotiæum was<br />
plundering many cities plundering many cities, without him leading the army; because<br />
Niniligis [sic] was the leader of Isauria, appointed by Zeno-and Athenodorus-and<br />

Goth.I. 1 p.309 D 310 A because already Theuderic and Goths have been besieging<br />
Ravenna for three years-they came to sacred reconciliation between them in Ravenna ,<br />
according to which Theoderic and Odoacer will rule Ravenna on equal terms between<br />
them. And for some time the agreed upon were respected (followed); then Theoderic<br />
arrested Odoacer, as they say, by using a tricky way by inviting him for dinner (for<br />
eating) he assassinated him etc. And after he survived for 37 years he dies. Conf.a.526.<br />
Odoacer was slain almost 17 years after he had deposed Augustus in Aug.476. In Anon.<br />
Valesii p.617 § 45. 618 § 48 he is said to reign inter XIII et XIV annos.-deposito Augustulo<br />
de imperio factus est rex mansitque in regno annos XIII. This may be reconciled with the<br />
truth, if, with Tillemont tom.6 p.456, we understand it of his flourishing period. He was<br />
first overthrown by Theoderic in 489, when he had completed the 13 th years of his reign.<br />

Taurus straights-he corrupted (dissolved) the army of the besiegers, and Diogenes exited.<br />
Then the bishop Croton after he was wounded dies after a short while; and this was the<br />
se ond great victory of the Romans. If the date is exact, Claudiopolis might be occupied<br />
and besieged in 493, and the victory be obtained by Joannes in 494.<br />

under Theoderic. But the secretary author Variarum<br />
epistolarum was only quæstor and magister: conf.a.527.2<br />
The secretary, who is present with Theoderic, addresses in<br />
his name Variar.III.28 Cassiodoro patricio, who is absent<br />
during the secretary’s presence at court. The patrician then<br />
is a different person from the secretary, and there is no<br />
reason for rejecting with the Benedictine editor the account<br />
of Trithemius (conf.a.575), which makes the writer 13<br />
years of age at the death of Odoacer.<br />
The father of the patrician had been the coadjutor of Aëtius<br />
under Valentinian III and was ambassador for peace to<br />
Attila: Variar. I.4. His grandfather had defended Sicily and<br />
bruttia against Genseric and the Vandals (A.D.441): Ibid.<br />

Anastasii 6 from III. Id. April.<br />
The fifth year of the Isaurian war is marked by Theoforus Lector p.559 A the war having<br />
lasted for five years and Anastasius being tired Eupfemius, CP bishop hoped that peace<br />
is approaching etc.-However, Anastasius moved against the Isaurians like a king and<br />
defeated them decisively, and he sent to Euphemius and he announces him etc.<br />
Theophanes p.119 C 120 A places the reference to Ruphemius in the 4 th of Anastasius: at<br />
this year-the king being tired etc. and the defeat of the Isauruans in the 5 th of Anastasius:<br />
p.120B at this year Joannes the Scythian was besieging, he captured the magister<br />
Longinus from Selinus and Athenodorus and the rest of the tyrants; and after he<br />
decapitated them he sent their head to Byzantium to the king Anastasius. And<br />
Anastasius placed the heads of the tyrants on horses-he showed them to everybody.-He<br />
announced to the bishop Eypemius by the magister Eusebius etc. But the war was not<br />
ended till 499: conf.a. Euphemius was deposed in 4596: see col. 4. We must therefore<br />
suppose that the Isaurian leaders were repulsed in 496 and that Anastasius spoke only of<br />
this apud Theod. Lect. P.559 B Theophanem p.120 p.120 C, but that the leaders were taken<br />
after the exile of Euphemius<br />
Victory of Clovis: Greg. Tur. H.Fr.II.30 Bellum contra Alamannos comvoretur.-Facturm<br />
ets autem ut confligente utroque exercitu vehemwenter coderentur, atque exercitus<br />
Chlorovechi valde ad internecionem ruere cœpit. Quod ille videns, elevates ad cælum<br />
oculis, compunctus corde commotus in lacrymis ait “Jesu Christe,-si mili victoriam super<br />
hos hostes indulseris, et expertus fuero illam virtutem quam de te populus tuo nomini<br />
dicatus probasse se prædicat, credam tibi et in nomine tuo baptizer.” &c.-Cumque hæc<br />
diceret, Alamanni terga vertentes in fugam labi cœperunt, cumque regem sum cernerent<br />
intermtum, Chlorovechi se ditionibus subdunt.-at ille prohibito bello coartato que populo<br />
cum pace regressus narravit reginæ qualiter per invocationem nominis Christi victoriam<br />
meruit obtinere. (Actum anno XV o regni sui). These last words according to the editor are<br />
absent from many MSS. but are inserted (alia manu) in two copies. This date is alos<br />
inserted in two MSS. in II.37, although at the wrong place; for it refers not to be the war<br />
with Alaric but to the war with the Alamanni there mentioned. And we may transpose the<br />
passage in II.37 and read thus: pugnans contra Alamannos apud Tulbiacense oppidum<br />
anno XV o Chlorovechi.The baptism of Chlovis followed: Greg. Tur.II.31. On Christmasday:<br />
Aviti epistola. And, as the victory was shortly followed by the baptism Dec. 25, it<br />
must be referred to the autumn. The 15 th year of Chlovis Commenced in the beginning of<br />
A.D.496 because the 30 th year commenced in the beginning of A.D.511: conf.a.511.2.4.<br />
And these events in the 15 th year of his reign are determined to the autumn and to<br />
December of A.D.496.<br />
The letter of Avitus is quoted by Ruinart in Append. Ad Greg. Tur.p.1322: Aviti<br />
Viennensis episcope epistola ad Chlodo veum regem. Occiduis paribus in rege non novo<br />
novi jubaris limen effulgurat, cujus splendorem congrue Redemptoris nostril nativitas<br />

redemptioni suæ cæli Dominum sit et vestry-in quo vos animam Deo vitam præsentibus<br />
famam posteris consecrastis. We may suppose that the epistle was written in January<br />
A.D.497.<br />

The coins of the 1 st class were issued within A.D. 493-526,<br />
of the 2 nd within 493-518, of the 3 rd within 518-526. In<br />
these Roman coins of a Gothic king the name is written<br />
Theodoricus. But Theodoricus and Theudericus in many<br />
Latinauthors; and his last form seems justified by the<br />
original Theutonic name Theude-rijch in Grotius Goth.<br />
p.599.<br />
In the spelling of names there is great variation in different<br />
authors. Idatius Prosper Jornandes Isisdorus frequently<br />
differ from one another. The Greek authors differ from the<br />
Roman. The spelling of each author has been generally<br />
exhibited, except when it appeared that the names were<br />
corrupted by the transcriber. The Teutonic names which<br />
according to Grotius 1.c. terminate in rijch, as Al-rijch,<br />
Athal-rijch, Erman-rijch, Geis-rijch, Hun-rijch, Rode-rijch,<br />
Theu-rijch, are given with great variations. The Greeks<br />
retain the final aspirate, as Alarichos, Theoderichos. The<br />
Roman writers reject it, as Alaricus, Theodericus. The<br />
English follow the Latin; and I have conformed to the<br />
usage in writing them Alaric, Huneric, Theoderic, &c.<br />
although they would be more properly written Alarich,<br />
Hunerich, Theoderich.<br />

calls advocate and he writes about him countless other things<br />
that he was suspected of Manichaeism, and that not even during<br />
the Holy Lent which closes in three weeks he did not abstain<br />
from eating bird meet, and that he participated in Greek<br />
rituals.-and he makes a dramatic write-up(article, book). He<br />
addresses it to the accusations of some Leo. The drama<br />
introduces various persons; Lambadius for him and some<br />
Marinus as apparently fighting for Joannes, who after some<br />
lecturing recognizes that he did not mean to defend him but he<br />
sides with Lambadius.-He divides the book in 16 speeches, and<br />
he introduces the dialectic method in the 13 th speech-and in the<br />
three remaining speeches he comments on the said about<br />
Joannes in the second and third speech.-And it was Basilius the<br />
elder (presbyter) , as he says, Flavius being the archbishop of<br />

Armenia with a big Persian and imported crowd (army) and he captures<br />
Theodosiopolis.-Then he arrived in Mesopotamia and besieges Amida.-Finally<br />
someone betrays Amida to Persians, which was being besieged for over three<br />
months by the barbarians and was betrayed at night from one of the towers<br />
which was defended by monks. And by Cedrennus p.358 D at the 13 th year<br />
Cabades the king of Persians expedites to Amida and captures the city.<br />

informed that Amida is being besieged he send immediately army-four generals were appointed<br />
on the lead of the whole army, Areobindos and father-in-law of Olybrios-who happened to be<br />
the general of the east (Western Asia); and Keler, the leader of the palace battalion (order),-and<br />
even the leaders of the soldiers in Byzantium Patrikios the Phrygian and the beloved of the<br />
king, Hypatios; these were four generals. Along with them was Ioustinois, who after the death<br />
of Anastasios became the king, and patrikiolow with the chind of Bitaliano-and Faresmenes the<br />
Kolchian who was from a different family (origin) but capable in war, and Gododisklos and the<br />
Sbesas Gothic men- and many excellent other were ordered, because such an army they said<br />
enither previously nor later the Romans sent off against the Persians. Appion the Egyptian was<br />
sent as the sponsor of the expenditure of the military camp. This way the army was gathered<br />
and it was advancing at a very leisure pace. Theophanes: King Anastasios is sending an army<br />
consisted of Goths and Bessians and other Thracian tribes, which is administered by<br />
Areobindos, the son of Dagalaefos, and general of the East, leader of the highest event (A.D.<br />
461). They were also sent to Areobindos and many other generals, of which the most renown<br />
were patrikios and Secoundinos, the son of the sister of king Anastasios, and Farasmanes the<br />
father of Zouna, Lazos in the origin, and Romanos-and Ioustinos (Justin) who succeeded him in<br />
the throne, and Emarchos and a few other. After their unsuccessful campaign they are distributed<br />
in the winter quarters: Theoph. P. 126C since the winter had arrived, the generals of the Romans<br />
were distributed at various cities of Euphrates river and Osroene and Mesopotamia and<br />
Suyrians and Armenians to escape the winter weather. The winter of the 13 th of Anastasios A.D.<br />

they arrived at Amida, a fortified city located between<br />
rivers, and after they besieged it they conquered it<br />
(enslaved).-which are very well and in detail known to a<br />
friend, and after he checked their accuracy all of them,<br />
Eustathius has mentioned and has written about them<br />
in his exceedingly elegance with a great wisdom and<br />
after a lot of effort; who until the writing of that<br />
(chronicle) has reported about the departed ones and<br />
includes the twelfth year after Anastasios reigning. The<br />

multiple lines letter in Nicæa and KP. And he confirmed the<br />
synod in Ephesus, ignoring though the Chalcydon Synod.<br />
He also renounced Diodoros, and he subjugated chapters<br />
without those the synod of Chalcydon appears to exist, and<br />
in particular the voice of the “In two natures” reject. On the<br />
other hadn some claim that these belong to Acacius of KP.<br />
Flavius however, he wrote a characteristic letter to<br />
Anastasios-similarly to Xenias the disrespectful.-Constantine<br />
also, bishop of Seleucia, anathematized the holy Chalcydon<br />
Synod writing the same to Xenias. Flavius though accused<br />
(slandered) them in writing to the king. However, the king<br />
became indignant with him, and it seems that he believed<br />
rather Constantine and Xenias. Anastasios wrote to Elias,<br />
bishop of Jerusalem, ordering him to vote against the<br />

reminding by the magister Kellor that he confesses that while he<br />
accepts the first and second Synod, he rejects the Ephesus and<br />
Chalcedon Synods; which (decisions) brought big condemnation<br />
by Macedonius (which caused Macedonicus big condemnation).<br />
Due to this he also accepted the Henotikon of Zeno, of which he<br />
signed when he was ordained. Macedonius he went to the<br />
monastery of Dalmatus and the clergy and the zealot monks who<br />
were scandalized confessed to him-that he accepts the Chalcedon<br />
Synod and who does accepts it is a heretic, and they attended the<br />
mass together. However, the king convinced the clergy and monks<br />
who had the same opinion with him (believed the same) to vote for<br />
another bishop. which grieved immensely Areandes and the<br />
senators; because Macedonius was appreciated and valued for the<br />
purity of his life and the correctness of his dogmas, even if was<br />
deceived.-the king, in the middle of the night, sent Macedonius<br />
forcibly to Chalcedon and from there he exiled him to Euchaita.<br />
He did not dare to accuse him for anything because he was afraid<br />
of the people. He then presented as bishop Timotheus and older<br />
person-at this moment, the unlawful king dethroned Flavius from<br />
Antioch in a hurry and appointed Severus the profound enemy of<br />

2o August), the 6 th of the indiction-who became a clergy to Sozopolis<br />
(which is from the same nation as the Pisidian), who previously was<br />
teaching law in Beirut (he was a pagan). Therefore, from the exercise of<br />
the law he directly received the communion of the holy baptism at the<br />

the reign of Anastasius and the accession of Justin, and would place the death of Anastasius<br />

Paulus bishop of Antioch: Evagr. IV, 4 Severus on the other<br />
hand who had been ordained as president of Antioch,-because<br />
he did not stopped the Chalcedon Synod, which was<br />
anathematized, and in particular in the so-called enthroning<br />
syllables (words), and their compensation (exchange), which he<br />
sent to each one of the patriarchs (they were accepted however,<br />
only at the city of Alexander for Ioannis after the previous<br />
Ioannis Dioscuros and again of Timotheos, which are saved<br />
until our time), Justin orders during his first reigning year to<br />
punish Severus as having involved , to cut oof his tongue, as it<br />
has been said by a few; Ireneos was charged that act who had<br />
been given the reigning (ruling, administration) of the east in<br />
Antioch.- they say, like Vitalianus he removed (uprooted)<br />
Severus tongue-because Severus was cursing in it (tongue) with<br />
his own words [he was cursing using his tongue] he leaves his<br />
own throne in Gorpion month (which the Roman name<br />
September) the Antioch year 567 [read year 566] and after him<br />
Paulus accents the throne. We know from Julian (see F.H.III<br />
p.360) that Loüs was the tenth month in Antioch. But if Loüs was<br />
the tenth Dius was the first and Gorpiæus the eleventh. But, as the<br />
567 th year commenced in autumn A.D. 518, Corpiæus of the 567 th<br />
year was Corpiæus od A.D. 519. Severus was condemned in July<br />
518 (conf. a.) ; was therefore deposed in September of that year,<br />
September of the first year of Justin’s reign. September therefore<br />
of the 566 th tear of Antioch. Wherefore for seventh will require “<br />
Sept. A.D. 519”. Theophanes p. 141 CD Justini 1 o Severus<br />

until the year 568, when the Olympics were ceased there have been 77 Alytarchæ<br />
(the umpires, the keepers of the order at the ancient Olympics) [conf. a. 212]. The<br />
568 th year of Antioch commenced in autumn A.D.519. The 14 th indiction bagan Sept. 1<br />
A.D. 520 towards the close of the 568 th year. Either Malalas reckoned 77 alytarchæ<br />
exclusive of the first, or the 78 th games were not celebrated. But the ordinance seems to<br />
mean that the 78 th Olympics indict. 13 Ol. 324, 4 July A.D. 520 in the 568 th year were<br />
the last, and that from and after the 14 th indiction they should cease. The Olympics at<br />

Basilius Cilix: Phot. Cod. 42 the ecclesiastical history of<br />
Basilios Cilician was read. It begins before the death of<br />
Simplicius of Rome [A.D.488]-it begins on the one hand from<br />
these years and descends until the death of Anastasios, who as<br />
they say laste4d in the throne (kingdom) for twenty years and<br />
three months [A.D.491-518]. He writes that after him<br />
(Anastasios) Justin the Thracian assents to the throne as the<br />
king. But this very book here describes the history from Zeno<br />
until the death of Anastasios and is descending until Justin’s<br />
ascension. He also describes )the facts) in a similar way the<br />
other two books, the first and the third describe.; which<br />
however begins from the reigning of Marcianus the king and<br />
ends at Zeno’s reigning, of whom reigning was described in<br />
the second book, which is used as the introduction of the third<br />
(book)beginning from the reigning of Justin. Basilius had<br />

Procopius was appointed as his advisor (companion), who<br />

Described by Theophanes p.149 A at the 1 st year of Justinian. Cedrenus p. 366 D follows<br />
Theophanes. The Lazi apply for aid against the Persians. Three generals are sent<br />
(Belisarius Cerycus Irenæus Chron. Pasch. Gilderich Cerycus Irenæus Malal. Belisarius<br />
Cerycus Petrus Theoph. Cedren.) who are defeated and recalled. Petrus is sent (a second<br />
Petrus in Theophanes), who routs the enemy. Procopius Pers. I.13 p. 35 at this period does<br />
not name the Lazi, but gives the following facts: Justinian ordered Belisarius to terrorize<br />
a fortress in village of Mindon- which is located on the left of Nisibi; who immediately<br />
executed what the king wanted him to do.-The Persians departed.-who were not far away<br />
and they were threatening to prevent the works. Since the king heard these-he<br />
dispatched another army immediately under the command of Koutzi and Vouzi who<br />
were leading the soldiers in Lebanon. Both these two brothers from Thrace were new.<br />
The Romans were defeated after a heavy fighting etc. He then passes to the campaign of<br />
A.D. 530. Malalas XVIII p. 174 and when concurrence happened-thirty thousand<br />
Persians rushed in Mesopotamia and with Xerxes the son of king Koades (because his<br />
eldest son Perozis was fighting in the land of Lazi and the Armenian Persia with a lot of<br />
aid; because their father Koades-di not come against the Roman); Koutsis of Vitalianus-<br />
and Sebastian with the Isaurian hand and Proclus the duce of Phoenician an count of<br />
the king attacked against Meran and Xerxes. Belisarius also was with thema and<br />
Tafaras the chieftain. The Persians are victorious: Belisarius fleeing the battle saved<br />
himself. Placed by Malalas in 528 before the earthquake of Antioch in November of that<br />
year.
Malalas XVIII p. 157 at the proscribed year of the Justinian reign [A.D. 528]was<br />

Antioch suffered by calamity again two years after the same suffering; and earthquake<br />
took place etc. – and again king and his queen donated a lot of money for the<br />
rejuvenation and rebuilding of Antioch, and they rename her Theopolis. Repeated at the<br />

indiction [March 21 A.D.529] Alamundus from Zekiki, the small king of the Saracens<br />
invaded and plundered the first Syrian until the borders of Antioch.-in April of the<br />
same seventh indiction took place help of an army which was sent by the king-and<br />
Belisarius was appointed general of the orient, who succeeded on the Consulship-and<br />
on the 12 th May [A.D.529] Hermogenes entered Antioch-as the ambassador who was<br />
sent by the King Justinian to the King of Persians for peace. In June [A.D.529] after<br />
he received the gifts he did not accept to make peace (sign peace treaty). In June,<br />
however, [A.D. 529] Samarians and Jews in Palestine crowned someone named<br />
Julian as king etc. Julian is slain: Ibid. whom God surrendered to the hands of<br />
Justinian-and he decapitated the Julian the tyrant. On the other hand, Hosroës [immo<br />
Cavades], the king of Persians accepted Hermogenes-in July of the same seventh<br />
indiction[July 529] after he received the gifts he did not accept to make peace.<br />
Cedreenus p. 369 A in the 2 nd year-Samaritans and Jews-crowned Julian. Malalas<br />
XVIII p. 179-182 Alamundus- plundered the first Syria until the borders of Antioch-at<br />
the time Belisarius was appointed as Prefect of Romans.-because Hypatius the<br />
patrician succeeded her. – at that time Hermogenes the Scythe, a wise man from<br />
magister (master lords)was sent to Persia. In June of the seventh indiction, due a<br />
national uproar (agitation) was taking place, and because Samaritans contributed<br />
between the Christians and the Jews many places were totchde etc. the Samarians,<br />
however-crowned Julian from Samaria, a chief of brigands. Julian is slain by<br />
Theodorus is dismissed and Irenæus appointed his successor. However, the king of
Persians Cabades accepted Hermogenes the magister who was sent as the ambassador<br />
of friendship in June. The ambassador Hermogenes returns with the answers of<br />
Cabades p.184.185 of which a copy is given:if you do not do this, prepare yourselves<br />
for war, having the whole year (to prepare), not to be taken (thought) that we will steal<br />
the victory. Chron. Pasch. P. 336 A Lambadio et Oresta coss. A.D. 530 at that year<br />
after Samarians revolted and crowned themselves king and Caesar then Irinæus was<br />
sent-and killed many of them. The war therefore was at 529, the succession of Irinæus<br />
in 530. marcellinus relates the Persian war at 529,: Desio solo cos. Parthis bella<br />
moventibus arama Romanus paravit exercistus.-Hæc expedition nostrorum pæne per<br />

Edict of Justinian againsts philosophy: malal. XVIII p. 187 at the consulship of Decio,<br />

philosophy and astronomy. An edict against heretics and pagans is marked by<br />
Theophanes p. 153 B Justiniani 3 rd of the 8 th indiction Justinian the king persecuted a<br />

Campaign of Belisarius: Procop. Pers. I. 13 p. 35 D. after [after A.D. 528: conf. a.]<br />
king Justinian he appointed Belisarius as general of the east [as. A.D.529: conf. a.], he<br />
ordered him to campaign against the Persians; after he (Belisarius) raised an army in<br />
fighting condition (ready to fight) he arrived at Damas. Moreover, Hermogene,s who<br />
was participating in the army he was sent by the king.-and the king sent Rufus<br />
(Rufinus), the ambassador, whom in particular he ordered to stay in Hierapolis until<br />
he will signaled. Because many discussions for peace between both sides were taking<br />
place. Suddenly someone announced to Belisarius and Hermiogenes that the Persians<br />
are planning to invade the land of the Romans to capture as soon as possible Daras.<br />
Therefore, when both heard the news ordered the army to be ready etc. After tha battle<br />
and the victory of Belisarius (procop. I p.36 B-42D) Rufinus has a conference with<br />
Cabades : p.46. Rufinus and Hermogenes returned to CP. And the winter ended and the<br />
4 th year of the reign of Justinian: And the winter ended and the 4 th year of the reign of<br />

March of the 8 th indiction [march A.D. 530] hermogenes, the superior of the consuls,<br />
and Rufinus, the noblest of the generals departed for Persia, as the ambassadors and<br />
as soon as they arrived in Daras they notified the king of Persians to accept them. He<br />
relates the battle Belisarius with Cabades in August: p.152 A. Malalas XVIII p. 188<br />
Hermogenes and Rufinus were sent as ambassadors of the Romans during the<br />
consulship of Lampadios and Orestes. “They halt at Daras with Belisarius and the other<br />
chiefs. The Persians advance with 70,000 men, are defeated and escape tp Nisibis.”<br />
Evagrius IV.12 quotes Procopius for this war.<br />

XVIII p. 186 at the consulship of Deces Mundus, coming from the nation of Gepedes ,<br />
attached himself to Romans. “Mundus had attached himself to Theoderic King of Rome [conf.<br />
a. 505]. Thence passing eastwards he offered himself to Justinian, who made him general of<br />
Illyrium [sc. A.D. 529]: and Mundus defeated the Huns and secured the tranquility of Thrace.”<br />
Which agrees with the date of the Marcellinus.

Cabades September 13: p. 211 on the 8 th September the king Cabades of the Persiansafter<br />
he brought his second son Hosroës and he appointed him as the king-and after<br />
he fell sick for five days-passed away-being 82years old and three months. He reigned<br />
for 43 years and two months.<br />
Chosroes or Khoosroo therefore began to reign in Sept. A.D.531. Agathias IV.29 p.<br />
140 A agrees with this account: because after Cabades hade died at the fifth year of<br />
Justinian-Hosroës the famous for us succeeded his father at the leadership, and he<br />
had done many and bog things, some of which Procopius the orator has reported<br />
previously. As about the remaining concerned I have been reported as following as<br />
precisely as I have been reported them- having been ruling the state for forty eight<br />
years he achieved many victories and therefore he has become the best of all the<br />
Persian king who reigned previously. But in II.27 p.66C Agathias appears to differ<br />
from this date: conf. a. 554<br />
Gelimer reigns in Africa in June: conf. a. 484. Procop. Vand. I.9 p. 199 D there is, in<br />
particular, some one from the nation of Gizerites named Gelimer of Genzon of<br />
Gizerite he came to the very age after Ildericus, and therefore he was arrived<br />
immediately very hopeful to take the throne.- Because this Gelimer was looking at the<br />
future reign and because he was not able to reign according to the established way ,<br />
but-he was usurping the honor etc.-he associated to Vandals that if he will take the<br />
reign from Ildericus he will reward them to the outmost.-like this, Gelimer after he<br />
was placed to the throne , Ildericus who had began at the seventh year of the Vandals<br />
, jailed Oalmera and his brother Euageës. Broghtly placed among the events of 531 by<br />
Malalas XVIII p.197 and by Victor Tunun. Post consulatum Lampadii et Orestis.<br />

remaining life ended dearly and in the sweetest way. Because at<br />
that time Romans and Persians were setting libations and treaties,<br />
a part of them was referring that these two men should live by<br />
themselves according to their own customs without fear<br />
(reservation).-because it was not dependent on Hosroës to<br />
recommend on that and abide by the truce. Suid. Ambassadors p.<br />
3073 A the philosophers who were negotiating in Persia along<br />
with the Areovindos were the following, Damaskios the Syrian etc.<br />
According to Agathias they proceeded to Persia immediately after<br />
the edict: they departed immediately. But, as the edict was issued in<br />
529 and Chosroes began to reign in Sept. 531, their journey must<br />
have been delayed at least two years. They departed from Persia at<br />
the time of a negotiation. The treaties with Chosroes were in A.D.<br />
533, 545, 551, 557. But their stay was short. They returned quickly:<br />
they returned quickly. Their return then cannot be placed at 545 at<br />
the distance of 15 years from the edict . They might arrive at the<br />
court of Chosroesin the beginning of 532 and depart at the<br />
beginning of 533.
Tribonian is described at this time by Procopius Pers. I. 24 p.<br />
70 C Tribonian from Pamphylia, assistant of the king. C.25<br />
p.75 A so both Tribonian and Ioannes resigned from the<br />
office [p.71B] and after some time had elapsed, they<br />
established themselves at the same authority. But after<br />
Tribonian had served at the office for many years he passed<br />
away from a disease, no other graceless against nobody<br />
suffered. Because, on the one hand he was fraudulent and<br />
on the other hand he was hedonistic and he was<br />
overshadowed by the disease of the love for money-he was<br />
very capable from the blessing (obtaining) of the education.<br />
Anthemius and Isidorus flourished: Procop. Ædif. I.1 p.5 a<br />
mob of men then- the riots known as Nika riots [see col 2]<br />
created.- set fire-they dared to burn the church, which was<br />
called Sophia by the Byzantines.-and the king without<br />
second thought ( hesitation) rushed the funds for the<br />
rebuilding (of the church) – by the immediate decision of the<br />
king, Antemius from Tralles oversees the work, who was<br />
educated and very aware not only of the contemporary<br />
architecture, but the preexisting one as well-and Isisdorus<br />
from Miletus, another capable engineer, was also<br />
appointed by the king to oversee the work [conf. p.7C 9A 34<br />
A 44C]. Agathias V.9 p.152 that church, which was<br />
previously torched by the mob- rebuilt. –Anthemios himself<br />

Vand.II.9 p.255 A when Belisarius arrived at Byzantium with Gelimer and Vandals , he<br />
was honored with gifts, similar to which, only the Roman generals in the past had been<br />
adorned with wreaths and had been praised with great words for their great victories.<br />
Almost six hundred years have elapsed since anyone was honored like this, neither Titus<br />
nor Traianus and all other emperors who were victorious against the barbarians. The 600<br />
hundred years will carry us back to U.C.688. Pompey triumphed in U.C.693 B.C.61, but in<br />
U.C.720 B.C.34 the triumphs of Taurus Secius and Flaccus were also the triumphs of private<br />
citizens. Marcellin. Justiniano Aug. IV et Paulino coss. Provincia Africa-vindicata est,<br />

months, Anthimus the heretic, bishop of Trapzod was<br />
transferred to CP. At that year, Agapetus, the bishop of<br />
Rome, went to CP. he held a synod-and Antimus CP<br />
bishop-was deposed and ejected, after he had been bishop<br />
for 10 months and Menas was ordained as bishop instead<br />
of him. A metachronism of two years. According to<br />
Theophanes the 10 th of Justinian and the 15 th indiction are<br />
conumerary. Both began Sept. A.D. 536, June 5 will<br />
therefore be June of 537 for the appointment of Anthimus,<br />
and his 10 months would bring down Menas to March 538.<br />
But as Menas commenced March 13 A.D. 536, Anthimus<br />

Francis qui cum Theodeberto rege suo plus ducenta millia advenerant. This<br />
expedition, which is fixed by Procopius to the 5 th campaign of the Gothic war, is<br />
recorded by both the chronographers under the consulship of Apio; thus confirming<br />
that the 5 th year of the war was the 13 th of Justinian. Whence it follows that the 2 nd year<br />
of the awr was the 10 th of Justinian. Conf.a.536.<br />
Fæsulæ surrends: procop. Goth.II.27 p.454 A. And Auximum: p. 454 D finally the<br />
because Romans were forced due the bad weather and the Goths were rushed by the<br />
famine to make truce with each other, and due to the truce, the Romans shared half<br />
of the money among themselves and the other half the Goths received obeying their<br />
king. Auxium was besieged in the beginning of this 5 th campaign: p. 442B. The<br />
seventh month will bring the surrender to about October. During the siege the Franks<br />
were in Italy: Procop. Goth.II.26 p.449 D 450 C. and they had retired before Auxium<br />
surrendered: p.450 C.<br />
Belisarius approaches Ravenna: Procop. Goth. II.28 p.455 Ahen Belisarius captured<br />
Auximum, he had his whole army to besiege Ravenna. At this juncture another<br />
expedition of the Franks is in preparation: p. 454 C the Franks to create trouble for<br />
Belisarius arrived immediately for assisting the Goths, and they also were very<br />
ambitious. Conf.p. 455 D 456. The surrender of Witiges is placed by Anon. apud<br />

Auximum; perhaps three months after the event.<br />
Germanus returned from Africa and Solomon resumed the command in the 13 th of<br />

of such name, who compiled the Chronicles during Justinian’s<br />
reign. Phot. Cod. 69 a historical book was read to me as a<br />
summary of secular history; its author was the famous<br />
Hesychius, a Miletian, son of Hesychius and Philosophy<br />
[Suid.p.1707 A Hesychius the Miletian son of Hesychius the<br />
lawyer and Sophias], therefore the book title is pertained about<br />
the Roman and world history. It begins from the reign of the<br />
Assyrian king Belus and ends at the death of the king Anastasius<br />
[hence Suidas not quite accurately event during the reign of king<br />
Anastasius]. This study is divided in six parts (chapters) [Suid. he<br />
divided the historical chronology in six periods; like this he entitles<br />
each book; in each chapter he writes about the acts of the Roman<br />
kings at certain times, and the dynasties of the ruling tyrants of<br />
various nations, and also the events which happened in Byzantium<br />
until the reign of king Anastasius].The first chapter describes the<br />
events before the Trojan wars; the 2 nd reports on the events from the<br />
sacking of Troy until the Rome founding; the 3 rd chapter covers the<br />
period from the Rome founding until the 68 th Olympiad, when the<br />
hegemony of the Roman consuls abolished the king; the 4rth chapter<br />
writes about the reign of the consuls in Rome (from the 68 th<br />
Olympiad that is) until the 182 nd Olympiad whne Julius Caesar<br />
abolished that ruling and he became a monarch; the 5 th chapter<br />
includes the events from the monarchy of Julius Caesar until the<br />
Byzantium came to it great glory (became glorious), at the 278 th<br />
Olympiad; and the 6 th chapter commences from the time CP was<br />
happy to be reigned by Constantinus until the death of Anastasius.-<br />
His death happened at the 11 th indiction, when Magnus was the sole<br />
consul [conf.a.518.1.2]. The interval at the 1106 .-I read another<br />
book of his where the happened (the taken place) by Justin and his<br />
enthronement when Anastasius died; following he witnessed the<br />
Justinian enthronement after Justin and some other events until<br />
some years in his reign. And after that, he stopped writing because<br />
he was psychologically traumatized by the death of the child of<br />
Joannes. The extant work about the distinguished for the education<br />
scholars is named by Suidas: he catalogued or tabulated the famous<br />
scholars. The few pages entitled about the Constantinople pertained<br />
are probably a fragment of the 5 th book of his history.)<br />

Avagrius H.E.IV.29 describes himself at this period. He was<br />
still at school at Antioch when the plague began (see col. 2),<br />
and wrote in the 52 nd year after its commencement: I will tell<br />
you about the broken in disease, which lasted for 52 years<br />
(not previously reported) and plagued all the land. – And<br />
these many times were happening at the periods of the socalled<br />
indictions, in the cities and other places; in particular,<br />
total destruction fell on the people at the fifty second year<br />
cycle; even I myself suffered by the disease-it happened at<br />
the beginning of that plague while I was studying at the<br />
kindergarten, I saw many dying from the disease; in<br />
addition, many of the deceased were from my immediately<br />
family and their spouses and from the slaves and many<br />
peasants [conf. VI.23].-When I was writing these, being 58 th<br />
years old, within these two years (already Antioch had<br />
suffered four times by the plague since the fourth cycle had<br />
already gone) I had lost a daughter and her child. P.404 D<br />
therefore, (as it has told me) it (the plague) remained for 52<br />
years before its end. The fourth fiftieth (54 th ) was current.<br />
The plague began in the 5 th year of the first, or indict. 5<br />
A.D.542. The author wrote in the 12 th year of the fourth or<br />

by Fredegarius Ept. P.576. But 37+29 are 66 years, and the actual space was only 64.<br />
On which account Du Chesne as quoted by Pagi tom.2 p.604 reads 28 for 29. s Pagi<br />
himself retains both numbers, understands them of current years, rejects the account<br />
of Marius, and places the death of Theudebert at A.D 547: “Gregorius<br />
Theudebebertum demortumm manisfestissime indicat quando a transitu Theudeberti<br />
usque ad exitum Sigiberti supputantur anni 29. Sigiberti autem obitus, ut nunc<br />
convenit, cadit in a.547.anni igitur illi 37 in lib.III.37 incompleti intelligendi.” He<br />
repeats this at p.662. But as Clovis died in Nov.511 the 37 th year did notcommence<br />
til Nov.547. Wherefore the death of Theudebert (in the 37 th year current) could not<br />
happen till the very end of 547, within the 11 th indiction, where Marius places it.<br />
And, as from thence to the close of 575 are 28 years and no more, the 29 th year could<br />
not be current at the death of Sigibert, and Du Chesne with very good reason<br />
proposes in that period XXVIII years for XXIX. Procopius Goth. IV.24 p.634 D<br />

A.D.523; which may place the expedition in the spring or<br />
summer of that year; and the period of 25 years “more or<br />
less” will bring this passage of Cosmas to 547 or 548.<br />
Cosmas X p.331 A quotes a treatise of Theodosius,<br />
archbishop of Alexandria, whom he thus describes p.330<br />
E I will put forth (report) and a young schismatic of his<br />
father, still being alive and living in CP. and then a<br />
treatise of Timotheus ; p.332 A B ignoring him by<br />
oversight [Theodosium] previously, but now dead, young<br />
Timothy we will pursue. From whence Montfaucon<br />
argues præf. p.II that these passages libri undecimi (imo<br />
decimi) were written in A.D. 535 (the date according to<br />
Montfaucon of the death of Timotheus), and that Cosmas,<br />
“qu diuturnum tempus I his elucubrandis insumsit,<br />
postreman anni 535 notam ontam tum posuisse cum<br />
primum his operam daret, deinde vero quum multi s<br />
elapsis annis pristine repeteret notam anni 547<br />
posusisee.” Timotheus junior died Feb. 7 A.D.537,<br />
Theodosius was bishop from July 537 to November 538.<br />
He was then called to CP. and banished: conf.a.567. he<br />
survived his deposition more than 28 years: Ibid. These<br />
passages then could not have been written by Cosmas<br />
before the end of 538. But it is not clear that they were<br />
witten so soon. The terms now is still alive and now had<br />
died are consistent with a longer period after the<br />
deposition of Theodosius. and the expression in CP,<br />
living is also consistent with a longer period; for his place<br />
of exile was only 6 miles from CP. conf.a.567. and, as his<br />
influence was great in the palace (Ibid.), he might have<br />
been permitted to revisit the city itself.<br />
Vigilius at CP. is noticed by Procopius Goth.III. 35<br />
p.549 A at this date, towards the close of the 14 th year of<br />
the Gothic war: Vigilius, the archbishop of Rome along<br />
with many educated Italians, present here and living not<br />
any more in excess (luxury), but he wished the King of<br />
Italy to change at any cost.-The king of Italy was<br />
promising to take care of them himself, and that he was<br />
aware of both Christian dogmas, and he was<br />
maintaining that he is willing to study their<br />
contradicting arguments.<br />

wish either to destroy or to leave Rome, but he wanted the Goths and the Romans<br />
of the senate and everybody else to cohabitate here.-and he ordered to rebuild<br />
quickly all he had destroyed and torched when he captured Rome previously.<br />

Goths and Totilas-but the king was not aware that he had appointed a new capable<br />

Germanus.-but because the king changed his mind immediately he remained<br />
confident. At last after the surrender of Rhegium (p.557 D) he sends Germanus;<br />

from the human race (died) [conf. Jornandem Get. c.60]; He was hoping that, if the<br />
woman would be in the camp with him, it would naturally be expected the Goths<br />
not to raise the weapons against her, remembering of the principle (reign) of<br />

Death of Germanus: Procop. Goth.III.40 p.561 A but disease happened to fall on<br />
him and he passed away suddenly; therefore, Germanus disappeared from the<br />
human race (died) immediately), being a brave and active man, an excellent, selfmade,<br />
capable general; and during peace, he certainly knew how to take a care of<br />
the good and the citizens legal things. The death of Germanus is r4ecorded in both<br />

year had the power (reign). The whole period was to be 11 y 6 m : p.608 D eleven year<br />
and six months. The first truce therefore expired in spring 550, the second<br />
commenced in autumn 551. The autumn is marked by Procopius p.609 p. 609 C it was<br />
the middle of autumn. And Isdegunas after the winter had passed returned into Persia:<br />
p.614 after the winter time (end of winter) Isdigunas arrived at Hosroes (carrying)<br />
money and he announced them the events; and although he had brought the money<br />
they were going to secure the truce.<br />
Procopius Goth. IV.25 p. 638 marks a war between the Lombards and Gepidæ at this<br />
juncture, the summer of the 17 th year of the Gothic war. His account of the Lombards<br />
is not quite exact. In the 4 th year of the Gothic war A.D.538 Wacis is the king of the<br />
Lombards: II.22 p.441 A. to whom Witiges sends for aid: because they confirmed that<br />
Wacis is a friend and ally of the king [sc. Justiniano] they departed unsuccessful. At<br />
the 14 th year A.D. 548 Procopius relates III.33 p.544 a war of the Lombards and<br />
Gepidæ in the reign of Audoin; who make peace: p. 544C. (in the time of Totilas p.<br />
549 D.) Under the 16 th year A.D. 550 he tells of renewed war, still in the reign of<br />
Audoin, notwithstanding the peace: IV.18 p.615 B. a truce is made for 2 years: twoyear<br />
truce p.616 A. Then under the 17 th year, having mentioned IV.24 p.637 that<br />
Totilas had acquired the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, and that the Sclaveni had<br />
plundered Illyricium (after a large crowd of Slavs invaded Illyria they committed<br />
crimes not pleasantly said IV.25 p.637 C), he proceeds p.638 B-639 A at this (year)<br />
Gepidæ and Lombards attacked each other thus start fighting.-and the Logobards<br />
en-masse (all of them)-they arrived at the place of Gepidæ, and since the Gepidæ<br />
resisted them and after a pitch battle took place they are defeated, and they say that<br />
many of them were killed during this battle. Audoin, the king of Logobards after a<br />
few days he sent to Byzantium the good news-he found fault with not arriving the<br />
allied army of the king , although the Logobard, a little time ago, had sent a large<br />
number to Narses who was campaigning against Totilas and Goths. In this account<br />
Audoin is still king, and had already before this victory sent succours to Narses. These<br />
Lombard succours are mentioned again IV.26 p.641 A-Audoin the leader of<br />
Lombards-he sent succours to him-in A.D.552. and in the battle with Totilas: p.652 B.<br />
After the death of Totilas they were dismissed by Narses: IV.33 p.658 A. (in the<br />
autumn of 552.) Paulus Diac. De gestis Langobardorum gives this account of the<br />
Lombards. They issued from Scandinavia led by two brothers about ten generations<br />
before the present period: Langob.I.3 .7. In the time of their 5 th king –his temporibus<br />
I.18.19-Odoacer reigned in Italy; and after his victory over the Rugi (in<br />
A.D.487:conf.a.) the Lombards occupied Rugiland: I.19 Tunc Langofertilis, aliquantis<br />
commorati sunt annis. Their 7 th king conquered the Heruli: I.20. Aftre him an usurper,<br />
Wacho, governed the Lombards:I.21, who is not numbered by Paulus among the<br />
kings; for his son Waltari (Waltari, the son of Wacis Procopio Goth.III p.549 B) is<br />
called the 8 th king I.21, who was in reality the 9 th . Audoin the 9 th king-nonus Audoin-<br />
(properly the 10 th ) led the Lombards into Pannonia (in A.D. 5267: conf.a.568): I.22<br />
Paulus relates I.23 a battle with the Gepidæ and a victory of the Lombards in the reign<br />
of Audoin. (though really the 11 th ), succeeded his father and made war upon the<br />
Gepidæ again: I.27. Then followed the preparations of Narses (in spring 551) for his<br />
war with Totilas: Langob.II.1 Tunc Alboin electan e suis manum direxit qui Romanis<br />
adversum Gothos suffragium ferrent. &c. from this narrative we learn that Wacho<br />
reigned while the Lombards

were yet in Bugiland; that Audoin was king in 526; that the great war with the Gepidæ<br />
was in the reign of Alboin, and preceded the expedition of Narses. Paulus has erred in<br />
the circumstances of the war, but is confirmed by Jornandes in the date: see col.3. We<br />
also learn from Sigeberus in Chronico apud Pagium tom.2 p.642 that Audoin, (whom<br />
Sigeberus rightly calls the 10 th king) dies and that the 11 th king Alboin succeeded in<br />
A.D.534. The war then with the Gepidæ in the reign of Audoin, described by Paulus<br />
I.23, preceded that year. In the narrative of Paulus the Lombars dwelt in Rugiland 40<br />
years current A.D.487-526. But according to Sigebertus apud Pagium p.642 (who<br />
assigns to them 47 years in Rugiland) they entered the country in 479, eight years<br />
before the victory of Odoacer. Perhaps places the first appearance of the Lombards at<br />
379, and their 1 st king (Paul. Diac. I.14) at 389: conf.ann.<br />

Rome the triumph of Narses-because the war against Totilas contributed-whom he<br />
won decisively (at all levels) and he captured Rome and he slaughtered Totilas and<br />
his bloody cloths-sent to CP. The characters of time for the death of Totilas are exact.<br />
August of indict.15 is August A.D.552, when according to Theophanes the 25 th of<br />
Justinian was still current, which commenced in his reckoning is Sept.551.<br />
conf.a.565.4. At the 24 th of Justinian at the 24 th year improperly in Cedrenus p.367B,<br />
who has recorded the appointment of Narses and the victory under one year.<br />
Theophanes had divided them into two years. Malalas XVIII p.230 in August of the<br />
15 th indiction-the news of Narses’ triumph arrived from Rome etc. confirming the<br />
date of Theophanes . Evagrius IV.24 refers to Procopius for these events. If Totilas<br />
began to reign in the autumn of 541 (conf.a.), his reign is truly described by Paulus<br />
Diac. As eleventh year current, which is also the meaning of Procopius. Gregorius<br />
Romanus apud Pagium tom.2 p.601 less accurately Novem annis regnans decimo<br />
morieris. The siege and capture of Rome by Narses is marked by Procopius IV.33<br />
p.659. Idem p.660 A-the because the barbarians were panic-stricken-immediately<br />
they surrendered themselves and the fortress at the 26 th year of King Justinian<br />
ruling. So, Rome- was captured for 5 th time; of which Narses sent the keys of the<br />
gates to the king. The 26 th of Justinian agrees with he other dates of Procopius. The
five captures of Rome were 1 by Belisarius in 536, 2 by Totilas in 546, 3 by Belisarius<br />
in 547, 4 by Totilas in 549, lastly by Narses in 552.<br />

opening of the 27 th years and the acts of Narses from April<br />
553. He describes the Franks, to whom the Goths have<br />
recourse for succour: I.2 p.14 A because Childebertus and<br />
Chlorathius and yet Theuderic and Chloromerus have<br />
happened to be brothers; because their father Chlotheus<br />
died [A.D.511] they divided the kingdom in four pieces.-Not<br />
long later Chloromerus expedited against Burguzions<br />
(Burgondes) (they were Goths capable about the art of the<br />
war) and in that war he was hit by a javelin at the sternum<br />
he died [conf.a.524].-and not long later Theuderic after he<br />
was hit by a disease, died. [conf.a.534] he left the power<br />
(hegemony) to Theudibert, the son- After Theudiber<br />
became the leadership he destroyed the Alamans etc.-so he<br />
activated the decree (order) –represent the Gepidae and<br />
Logobards and some other neighboring nations of which<br />
he captured in the war; because they were not accepted<br />
(thought as accepted) by king Justinian in the programs of<br />
the Frankish and Alamanic, even Gepidic and Logabardic<br />
kingdoms [conf.a.556.3] and he was including other<br />
names.- he relates p.15 the death of Theudebet (conf.a.548):<br />
and succeeds in the power Theudibald junior (the kid)although<br />
he was still been taken care of etc.-at the time<br />
when Teias died etc. (see col.2) then kings of the Franks<br />
were Theudibald Junior( the young) and Childebert and
Chloratius the kid’s great uncles. The Goths apply to the<br />
Franks for aid: p.16AB. Leutharis and Butilinus Lombards<br />
in the service of Theudebald agree to assist them against<br />
Narses with 75,000 men: I.7 p.19 A B a 75,000 young men<br />
army from Alamans and Franks was raised. Agathias I.11-<br />

Teias in Cumæ (which had been besieged a year), occupied<br />
Florence and other towns of Tuscany, detached and army to<br />
engage the Franks who had now crossed the Po: p.22 B it<br />
was announced that they had crossed the river Po. That<br />
Lucca held out against Narses, and that his forces were<br />
defeated by the Franks near Parma; that after 3 months’<br />
siege he took Lucca: p. 30 C after the spent three months of<br />
rubbing in the besiege. This winter was now come: p.30 D<br />
he was doing these around the winter solstice. Narses went<br />
to Ravenna: p.31 C. Aligernus surrendered Cumæ: p.32.<br />

The war in Italy is described by Agathias. With the beginning of spring-already the<br />
spring was arrived (the spring A.D.554)-the army of Narses is in the field: II.1 p.35 A.<br />
The Franks and Alamanni waste and plunder Italy as afar as Lucania and the straits of<br />
Messina: p. 35 D. When summer was come-the time of summer was culminated (it<br />
was summer) p.36 D.-Leutharis with his division of the force on his return is repulsed<br />
by Picenum and loses his booty, and in Venetia is cut off by a pestilence: II.2.3<br />
Meanwhile the Franks under Butelinus the other leader began to be wasted by disease,<br />
the autumn being now arrived-the autumn being commenced p.39 A. But, when he<br />
reached Capua on his return, he had still 30,000 men to oppose to 18,000 Romans: II.4.<br />
The Franks however are utterly routed by Narses and their leader slain: II.6-9,<br />
Butelinus himself and all the army they were totally destroyed p.46 A. Narses<br />
blockades 7,000 Goths in Campsæ, which consumes the following the following<br />
winter: II.13.14. he spent the winter dealing with them p.50B. The winter of 554/5.<br />

An earthquake in August: Malal. XVIII p.231 in August of the 2 nd indiction [Aug.<br />
A.D.554] happened a terrible earthquake, so many houses were damaged etc. in<br />
Byzantium.- and that earthquake lasted for 40 days. Theophanes p.194 A Justiniani<br />
this year was the 27 th (of Justinian), August 15 th of the 2 nd indiction-a terrible<br />
earthquake happened so many houses were destroyed etc.-and a large part of<br />
Nicomedia fell down (was leveled).-it lasted-40 days. Cedrennus p.384 D at the 27 th
year, on August 15 th .-this earthquake became universal (was felt everywhere) - and<br />
Arabia and Palestine and Mesopotamia and Antioch many cities and towns were<br />
crushed-and large part of Nicomedia fell to the ground (was leveled) etc. Agathias<br />
II.15.16 p.51 C in the summer a great earthquake shook Byzantium and in many<br />
other places of the Roman empire, and many cities were frequently crushed.-it was<br />
then that all Beirut the best, the previous jewel of Phoenician, was ruined and most<br />
of the glorious and reputed artifacts were crushed. II.16 p.53B and the island of Kos<br />
was shaken. The characters of time agree. Theophanes computed the 27 th year of<br />
Justinian down to Aug. 31 A.D.554.<br />
War in Lazica. The operations of Mermeroes in 553, 554 are described by Agathias<br />
II.19-22 p.56 B-60 VB. Death of Mermeroes: p.60 at that time he died-being already<br />
at an old age. The date is thus assigned by Agathias II.27 p.66 C –at the 25 th year of<br />
Chosroes reign, at which time wars were taking place in Colchis and Mermeroes<br />
happened to die; therefore, at that time was the 28 th year of Justinian reining the<br />
Romans. These numbers are inconsistent. The 1 st of Chosroes commenced in the<br />
sixth months of the 5 th year of Justinian according to Procopius Malalas and Agathias<br />
himself. Therefore the 25 th year commenced in the sixth month of the 29 th of<br />
Justinian, and no part of the 25 th year touched upon the 28 th . One of the numbers then<br />
is corrupt; and we may read the 24 th year. The 24 th and the 28 th were current together<br />
from Sept.13 A.D.555. Within these limits Mermeroes died; and his death may be<br />
placed in the autumn of 554. Transactions after the death of Mermeroes: Agath.III.2<br />

The Huns in Thrace: Malal. XVIII p.235 in March of the 7 th indiction [March 559] the<br />
Huns and the Slavs revolted in Thrace.-they arrived at the wall of CP. After they have<br />
destroyed places they left from there and the reached until Stratonike. Theophanes<br />
p.197 C-198C Justiniani this year was the 32 nd year of Justinian-the Huns and Slavs<br />
reveolted in Thrace etc.-and after the king realized that the barbarians insisted (in<br />
revolting) he ordered the noble Belisarius to attack (campaign against) them. They<br />
remained till Easter: until the Holy Easter. And till August: similarly the barbarians<br />
patrolled outside the city until August: [the last month of the 32 nd year as Theophanes<br />
computed: conf.a.565.4] They are at least permitted to retire beyond the Danube:<br />
through the mediation of an ambassador they were permitted to cross Danube without<br />
fear (danger). Cedrenus p.386 D at the 32 nd year-revolted the Huns and the Slavs [1.<br />
the Huns and the Slavs] in Thrace etc. Agathias V.11 agrees in the time of the irruption.<br />
He describes the four tribes of the Huns; two had been destroyed in former times, two<br />
had remained till the reign of Leo A.D.458-473: at that year, when they said that the<br />
pestilence fell on the city [A.d.558] the remaining Hun gens survived, and they even<br />
were known (famous); However, after the Huns descended towards the south wind<br />
(south) they were camping not far from the bank of Istrus river (Danube), where they<br />
were deliberating. Then, when the winter arrived [the winter of 558/9], the brookswere<br />
deep-frozen- the king of the Huns he crosses very easily and-he attacked Thrace.<br />
Belisarius, now in old age, is sent against them: V.15 p.160 B General Belisarius,<br />
although he has already been old, was sent by the king against them. His measures<br />
c.16. His victory c.19 p.165 A. Justinian and his ministers are jealous of the fame and<br />
popularity of Belisarius: V.20 p.160 A they accused the man as arrogant etc. The Huns<br />
were opposed in the Chersonese by Germanus: V.21.23. At length Justinian purchased<br />
the retreat of the barbarians: p. 169 D the king sent them gold.-so, they stopped<br />
plundering and they returned home. Victor Tun. places this irruption in 560: Post<br />

Justinian then about the end of the course of his life<br />

Malalas XVIII p.236 in May Zimarchus was removed-and he replaced by Theodorus<br />
the called Nicomedian. In Malalas the indiction is wanting, but Theophanes determines<br />
this fact to indict. 10; from whence we may conjecture that the events which follow in<br />
Malalas p.236.237 also belong to the 10 th indiction. A sedition of the two factions of the<br />
circus in May: at this months it was not celebrated the birthday according to the<br />

November was a big drought.-and at this months the news of the triumph of the<br />

they commence in the 16 th of Tiberius at March 21 A.D.30;<br />
but if they begin at the 18 th of Tiberius march 21 A.D. 32,<br />
they end in the 37 th of Justinian indict. 12 March 20 A.D.<br />
564. The Chronicle has obtained one year between Tiberius<br />
and Constantine by an interpolated consulship. Between<br />
Vinicius et Longinus and Volusianus et Annianus A.D. 314<br />
the Chronicle has 284 consulships instead of 283. In the last<br />
division of the period, 249 years, from the 8 th of Constantine<br />
to the 35 th of Justinian, the author has also reckoned a year<br />
too much; for from March 314 in the 8 th of Constantine to<br />
march 562 in the35th of Justinian are only 248 years. He has<br />
here the right number of consulships but had gained a year<br />
by wrong computation of the reigns. See Appendix c.2]

Malalas in the extant copy ends at this date at January of<br />
the 11 th indiction (see col.2) or Jan.563 in the 36 th of<br />
Justinian. Malalas is well informed in the affairs of<br />
Antioch, minute and authentic in the reign of Justinian.<br />
He is often repeated by the author of the Paschal<br />
Chronicle (for he appears to have precedent it in time).<br />
Theophanes does not seem to have transcribed from<br />
Malalas, but rather both from some common original; for,<br />
although Theophanes often tells the same facts in the same<br />
words, yet he also often adds many things which he did<br />
not find in Malalas. That Malalas wrote after the death of<br />
Justinian we know from XVII p.151.<br />
(Petrus returns from his embassy (conf.a.562):<br />
Theophanes p.202 D Justiniani 36 o in July-the magister<br />
Petrus arrived from Persia after he signed peace treaties<br />

Theophanes: conf.a.a565.4. But the treaty had been<br />
conducted in the 35 th of Justinian, 18 months before this<br />

since he came from Thrace he saw nobody) etc.-and<br />
after the king was well (healthy) the prefect Eugenius<br />
accused George etc. as having wanted to declare<br />
Theodorus, son of magister Petrus, as king , on which<br />
concurred Gerontius, the city’s prefect. After the case<br />
was investigated and nothing was proven Euhenius was<br />
disfavored and his house was auctioned. And in A.D.<br />

exited from there the patriarch of CP, Eutychius with the<br />
religious procession, the king being present, sitting on the<br />
vehicle. Malalas XVIII p.243 at this indiction the second<br />
inauguration took place etc. He is present at the enuiry into<br />
the charge against Belisarius (conf.a.562.2): Malalas p.241<br />
on 5 th December the king himself invited an assembly for<br />
an interview with him and he orders all the archons, the<br />
patriarch Eutychius and some of the guards of the palace<br />
to enter (participate). Conf. Theophanem p.202 A. These<br />

edict everywhere about worshiping different god passed away on 11 th November of<br />
the current 14 th indiction [commencing Sept. 1 A.D.565], after he reigned for 38<br />
years 7 months and 13 days, and his nephew Justin the Couropalatis succeeds him<br />
in the throne. Repeated by Cedrenus p.388 A. Evagr. IV.39 Justinian –after<br />
(because) he anathematized against Origen and Didymus and Evagrius, after the<br />
deposing of Eustochius he writes the so-called edict to the Romans, in which he<br />
called the body of the Lord incorruptible and not subjected to the natural suffering<br />
(and passions)etc. c.41 after he was hurt invisible his life ended after he reigned<br />
everything for 38 years and 8 months. Zonaras XIV p.70 A Justinian the king passed<br />
away after he reigned for 38 months and 8 months and 17 days, leaving the reign to<br />
his nephew Justin. Malalas also gives to Justinia38 y 7 m 13 d and places his death in<br />

A Justinian-ruled for 39 year the affairs of Romans the scepter of his authority<br />
(hegemony) was passed to Justin Jr, who happened to be Justinian’s nephew. These<br />
are 39 years current. Joannes Epiphaniensis apud Alemannum ad Procop. Anecdot.<br />
P.457 after he ruled for 39 year all the Romans he died (his life ended), which also<br />
mean current years. Improperly understood by Alemannus to mean 39 years “et<br />
septem prætera menses ac dies tredecim.” Which Joannes would have called 40 years<br />
current. That Justinian died in 565 is attested by a law and an inscription of the reign<br />
of Justin: conf.a.566.3.577.3, and by Menander quoted at A.D.569. Justin succeds<br />
Nov.1: Theophanes p.204 on 14 th November of this year of the 14 th indiction became<br />
king Justin, Justinian’s nephew, who was crowned by the Patriarch Joannes from<br />
the scholastics; he was of Thracian descent etc. Justinian therefore reigned Apr. 1<br />

D during Justin’s Jr. reign ambassadors of the Avars arrived in Byzantium and they<br />
received the customary gifts, the previous king Justinian used to give.-Then the<br />
ambassadors of the Avars went to the king because the were thinking that it would<br />
not be any other way to receive gifts and to enjoy the lyxuries of the Romans.-and<br />
even they were demanding to be around the king etc. Valesius ad Menandrum p.101<br />
