[1] Procopius, History of the Wars of Justinian 7.16.7 (web address 1). During the Ostrogoth's siege of Rome, probably in late 546 CE, Pelagius, a deacon in the city and later pope (556-561), appeals to the Gothic king Totila (cf. tau 879) for momentary relief; cf. Kaldellis (411). On Pelagius, see also alpha 2155, alpha 2812, delta 590, delta 1330, pi 314, pi 502, pi 2746, and the Catholic Encyclopedia entry at web address 2.
