[Footnote *: Corippus gives a different account of the death
          of Stoza; he  was  transfixed  by  an arrow from the hand of
          John, (not the  hero  of  his  poem)  who  broke desperately
          through the victorious troops of the enemy.  Stoza repented,
          says the poet,  of his treasonous rebellion, and anticipated
          - another Cataline - eternal torments as his punishment.

          Reddam, improba, poenas  Quas merui.  Furiis socius Catilina
          cruentis  Exagitatus  adest.    Video   jam  Tartara,  fundo
          Flammarumque globos, et clara incendia volvi.

          All the other  authorities  confirm  Gibbon's account of the
          death of John  by the hand of Stoza.  This poem of Corippus,
          unknown to Gibbon, was first published by Mazzuchelli during
          the present century,  and is reprinted in the new edition of
          the Byzantine writers. - M]
