Joannes Lydus after 40 y 4 m service applies himself to
writing: Magist. Rom. III.30 I departed for the court after
I served the army for 40 years and four months, and
after I was awarded by the king the customary honor for
completing (my service) I devoted myself immediately to
writing. Phot. Cod.180 three treatises were read, about
the Zeus-sign (the oracles of November), about months,
and about political principles. - this man expedited under
the consuls at the age of 21, but also he was an advocate
for 40 years, and then even a keeper of the records; after
that time he says that he will write the mentioned
treatises.-this time was when Anastasius was alive, it was
touching the reign of Justin and his life was expiration,
and including the time of Justinian. As the 40y 4m did
not begin before A.D.512, they would terminate in 552 0r
553. Lydus is now 62 years of age: conf.a.511.
Agathias begins where Procopius ends his history: Agath.
Procem. P.10 B all these have happened at the 26 th year

am writing on these. The 18 th year of the Gothic war
