[Footnote 158: Dove s'erano ridotti i nobili Romani e i
Gotti; and afterwards, i Rornani fuggirono e i
lasciarono Carthagine (Leo African. fol.
72,recto.). I know not from what Arabic uriter the
African derived his Goths; but the fact, though new, is so
interesting and so probable, that I wiil accept it on the
slightest authority.]
