Procopius,
Secret History 7.21 (
fu/sei ga\r oi( plei=stoi e)s to\ a(marta/nein eu)petw=s tre/pontai: web address 1). See on this Theodoridis'
Photius edition, vol.II pp.XCV-XCVI.
Procopius here describes the widespread hooliganism among the Byzantine circus factions (see
alpha 3460); cf. Kaldellis (33). In the original text, the articular infinitive (cf. Smyth ยงยง2025-2037)
to\ a(marta/nein could be rendered into English as "shamefulness", "wrongdoing", or "crime"; cf. LSJ s.v.
a(marta/nw (web address 2).
