[Footnote 63: The series of the first Gothic war is
represented by Procopius (l. i. c. 5 - 29, l. ii. c. l - 30,
l. iii. c. l) till the captivity of Vitigas. With the aid
of Sigonius (Opp. tom. i. de Imp. Occident. l. xvii. xviii.)
and Muratori, (Annali d'Itaia, tom. v.,) I have gleaned some
few additional facts.]
