[2] Procopius, Secret History 12.26 (web address 1), in a story about a monk seeing the emperor; cf. Kaldellis (60). The monk had come from a remote desert community to make an appeal before Justinian (cf. iota 446). When invited into the palace by the eunuch who manages audiences, however, he recoiled and fled, telling his entourage later that what he perceived on the throne was not the emperor, but the ruler of demons himself. On the ruler of demons, see e.g. Matthew 12.24. On Justinian's purportedly demonic nature, see also alpha 1259, delta 806, iota 726, and pi 2088.
