Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 6.28.24 (where the participle 'going' is singular, applying to Vitalius; cf. web address 1). In early 540 CE, Belisarius (cf.
beta 233) dispatches Vitalius north to Venetia (in northeastern Italy, between the Alps and the Po River; cf. Barrington Atlas map 40 grids A1-C1) in order to garner support for the siege of
Ravenna (
rho 4); cf. Kaldellis (377). On the Illyrian general Vitalius, see PLRE IIIb s.v. Vitalius(1).
