Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 5.4.4 (but read
au)tou= for the Suda's
au)tw=n); cf. Kaldellis (259) and web address 1. See on this Theodoridis'
Photius edition (vol.II p.XCII), and again Favuzzi [cited under
alpha 1990] 55. In the Suda's excerpt from
Procopius, the historian observes that in late 534 CE the Ostrogothic queen Amalasuntha (cf.
alpha 1475) supposes--quite erroneously it soon turns out--that she will suffer nothing at the hands of Theodahad (king of the Ostrogoths 534-536; cf. PLRE II s.v. Theodahadus).
