The expense of the
consulship was the cause of
Eraric at the right year but Totilas a year two low. Jornandes regn.p.718 Anni spatio
vix emenso Hildedabus interficitur et loco qjus succedi Errarius; qui et ipse vix anno
expleto peremptus est et in regno, maol, Italiæ, Badiula juvenis nepos adsciscitur
Hildebadi. Paulus Diac. XVII p.572 Ildebrandum-qui eodem anno perimitur. Cui
successit Errarius, et ipse nondumanno expleto jugulatus. Dehinc sibi Badiulam qui
et Totila dicebatur [Baduila upon consi: conf.a.543.3]in regnum præficiunt. The
actual space between the sapture of Witiges and the reign of Totilas might be 20
months. Badiula is also another name for Totilas in Marius and in liber pontificalis
apud Acta Concil. tom. 5 p.1287. Jornandes makes them distinct persons regn. p.718

14 th of Justinian Chesroes, the king of Persians, he invaded for 4 th time the land of the
Romans.–when Justinian was informed about it he sent against them Belisarius

following campaigns:p.186 A when he arraived at the Commagene province etc.
Cedrenus p.372 B-373D repeats Theophanes: at the 14 th year Chesroes-inveded for 4 th timeand

Third expedition of Chosroes in the spring: procop. Pers.II.20 p.135 D-141 C. at the
commencement of the spring Chosroes, the son of Cabades, invaded for third time the land
of Romans with a large army, having Euphrates river on his right (flank) p.141 C.
Chosroes withdrew to the ancestral customs.-These happened at the third invasion of
Chosroes in the land of Romans; and Belisarius who came to Byzantium by the king’s
order, he was sent to Italy immediately, because Romans were in trouble for all things.
Jornandes regn. p.717 Contra Parthum Wandalicus et Geticus consul solite destinatur. Qui
etsi non ut reliquas gentes eum edomuit, tamen ut intra suos se fines recolligeret compulit;
fuisetque de hac gente felici duci parta Victoria, ni clades in Italia quæ post ejus discessum
emerserat celerem ei successorem dedisset Martinum.
