FOOTNOTES:
[121] Leaders of foederati; see Book III. xi. 4-6; they had been recalled from Africa to Byzantium, cf. Book IV. xix. 2.
[122] The story of the origin of these oracles is given in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Ant. Rom. IV. lxii. They were burned with the Capitol in 83 b.c. The second collection was burned by Stilicho in 405 a.d. The oracles Procopius saw (cf. § [35] of this chapter) were therefore a third collection.
