Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 1.22.9 (web address 1), again at
alpha 3664; returning from
Byzantion (cf.
beta 588) in early 532 CE,
Rufinus (cf. PLRE II s.v.
Rufinus(13)), envoy from Justinian (
iota 446), encounters the Persian army and king Chosroes (

[4] From
Timaeus'
Platonic Lexicon, where however (as Adler's apparatus notes) the first word is corrected to
a)mo/qen. This is evidently because the Platonic phrase deemed to have generated the entry (
Gorgias 492D,
Laws 798D) is
a(mo/qen ge/ poqen, "from somewhere or other".
