[2] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 7.16.22 = Constantine Porphyrogenitus, De Legationibus (de Boor) p. 114; also quoted at pi 385. Explaining that the Romans have disingenuously expropriated the Goths, Totila (cf. tau 879) rejects the embassy of Pelagius and refuses to lift the siege of Rome (probably late 546 CE); cf. Kaldellis (412) and web address 1. On Pelagius, deacon in Rome and later pope, see also alpha 1585.
