[1] Quotation not identified by Adler but identifiable via the TLG as an approximation of
Procopius,
Secret History 5.4 (web address 1), on Belisarius in Italy (544-549); cf. Kaldellis (23). See on this Theodoridis'
Photius edition, vol.II p.XCIV. Justinian (cf.
iota 446) had provided no financial support for Belisarius's second Italian campaign. While carefully avoiding any engagement with Totila (cf.
tau 879), the ill-equipped Byzantine general plundered
Ravenna and
Sicily on the pretext that it was retribution for their past support of the Goths. On Belisarius, see generally
beta 233.
[2] Attributed by Wentzel to a rhetorical source (so Adler).
[3] Quotation unidentifiable.
[4] Quotation unidentifiable.
[5] In fact
Sophocles: Chrysothemis in
Electra 466-467 (with comment from the
scholia there). The connection of this passage to the foregoing is indirect: the noun used is
lo/gos (cf. LSJ s.v., III.2), not
logismo/s.
