Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 7.16.27 (also in the
Excerpta de Legationibus of Constantine Porphyrogenitus 114.25-6). Manuscripts GVM of the Suda read
katespou/dastai/ soi "you have taken a serious interest"; the text of
Procopius (web address 2) reads
sune/tacas "you have assigned." Gothic king Totila (cf.
tau 879) replies to
Pelagius (cf.
alpha 1585 note), upon the latter's embassy to appeal for temporary relief from the siege of Rome (probably in late 546 CE); cf. Kaldellis (413).
