Menander Protector fr. 30.1 Blockley (242-243). The fragment is unplaced and without any context that could help assign a time and place for Narses's flight. Blockley suggests (286, note 323) that the fragment pertains to Roman military campaigns in Italy near the end of Justinian's reign. For Narses see
nu 42. For Justinian see
iota 446.
