[Footnote 6: In the second (c. 30) and third books, (c. 1 -
40,) Procopius continues the history of the Gothic war from
the fifth to the fifteenth year of Justinian. As the events
are less interesting than in the former period, he allots
only half the space to double the time. Jornandes, and the
Chronicle of Marcellinus, afford some collateral hints
Sigonius, Pagi, Muratori, Mascou, and De Buat, are useful,
and have been used.]
