- 2Quotation not identified by Adler, but identifiable via the TLG as an abridgement of Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 2.6.19 (web address 1). See on this Theodoridis' Photius edition, vol.II p.XCV. In early 540 CE, the bishop of Beroia (cf. beta 245) Megas, as envoy of the citizens of Antioch (alpha 2692) to Chosroes (chi 418), admonishes the Persian king for having invaded by Byzantine east without having first negotiated with the Roman emperor Justinian (iota 446); cf. Kaldellis (86). ↩
