Theoderic: Damasciu apud Photium Cod. 242 p. 1041 this is
Velimerius, the father of Theoderic, who now has the largest
state in the whole Italy. Isisdorus therefore died and this life was
written at least before September A.D. 526. Damascius himself is

three years in the rhetorical art, and he already had been doing
rhetoric diatribes for 8 years [conf. Damascium apud Phto. p.
