Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Johannes,] the man who usurped power at Rome in the time of
Theodosius;[1] he was humble and well-off for intelligence and quite knowledgeable about how to pretend excellent character. He managed his tyranny moderately, nor did he give heed to the slanderers, nor did he commit unjust murder, at least willingly, nor did he attempt to take anyone's money.

Notes:
Johannes was Honorius' secretary (
primicerius notariorum) and on his death made himself the western emperor at Rome (423-425). He was later deposed by the eastern emperor
Theodosius II (408-450), who eventually had him killed. See Hugh Elton's
DIR entry at web address 1 and the Wikipedia entry at web address 2. See also PLRE II s.v Ioannes(6).
