Ludmila, Wenceslas, Procopius, Cyril and Methodius, and Adalbert ), although numerous legends about Bohemian saints were also written by foreign authors.

He edited Procopius for Niebuhr's Corpus of the Byzantine writers, and between 1846 and 1851 brought out at Oxford an important edition of Demosthenes ; he also edited Lucian and Josephus for the Didot classics, while his work on Homeric scholarship is represented by his four-volume edition of the Homeric scholia.

Procopius also notes John employed thousands of bodyguards to ensure his security.

Founded in 1887, the school was initially established in Chicago as the all-boys St. Procopius College and Academy by Benedictine monks, who also operated the St. Joseph Bohemian Orphanage.

His name has also been given as Prokop Holý or Prokopius Rasus-latin translation (" the Shaven ," in allusion to his having received the tonsure in early life ), Procopius the Great, and Andrew Procopius.

For instance, in the third book of the History of the Wars Procopius details: " There were many Gothic nations in earlier times, just as also at the present, but the greatest and most important of all are the Goths, Vandals, Visigoths, and Gepaedes.

Ammianus Marcellinus and Procopius also noted their use as ambassadors on several occasions.

Procopius, John of Ephesus, and other contemporary historians recount Kaleb's invasion of Yemen around 520, against the Jewish Himyarite king Yusuf Asar Yathar ( also known as Dhu Nuwas ), who was persecuting the Christians in his kingdom.

This is also evident according to the genealogical legend, preserved by Procopius: " In the old days many Huns, called then Cimmerians, inhabited the lands I mentioned already.

According to Procopius, during his governorship Theudis had married a Spanish woman who " belonged to the house of one of the wealthy inhabitants of that land, and not only possessed great wealth but also a great estate in Spain.

When he died, Julian had left behind one surviving relative, a maternal cousin named Procopius.

For this reason, according to Procopius, he was uninterested in the military operations of the Vandals and left them to other family members, of whom Procopius singles out for mention his nephew Hoamer.

He had left no sons and two daughters, the elder Ariadne, born before Leo was raised to the throne and married to the Isaurian general Zeno, and the younger Leontia, born when Leo was already emperor and married to Procopius ' brother, Marcian.

The insides of the wings contain four military saints: George and Procopius on the left, Theodore and Demetrius on the right.

The word ' anecdote ' ( in Greek: " unpublished ", literally " not given out ") comes from Procopius of Caesarea, the biographer of Justinian I, who produced a work entitled ( Anekdota, variously translated as Unpublished Memoirs or Secret History ), which is primarily a collection of short incidents from the private life of the Byzantine court.

When Belisarius was sent back to Italy in 544 to cope with a renewal of the war with the Goths, now led by the able king Totila, Procopius appears to have no longer been on Belisarius ' staff.

Most of the historical evidence for Totila consists of chronicles by the Byzantine historian Procopius, who accompanied the Byzantine General Belisarius during the Gothic War.

" Totila " is how he was referred to by the historian Procopius.

The official Byzantine position, adopted by Procopius and even by the Romanized Goth Jordanes, writing just before the conclusion of the Gothic Wars, was that Totila was a usurper: Jordanes ' Getica ( 551 ) overlooks the recent successes of Totila.

" After a successful siege of a resisting city, such as at Perugia, however, Totila could be merciless, as the Byzantine historian Procopius recounts.

On this occasion Totila exhibited a considerable humanity which was not to be expected, as the historian Procopius remarks, from an enemy or a barbarian.

Procopius notes that Abraha later submitted to Kaleb's successor, as supported by the former's inscription in 543 stating Aksum before the territories directly under his control.

The difficulty has been raised, especially by geologists, that the promontory ceased to be an island well before Homer's time ; but Procopius remarked that the promontory has all the appearance of an island until one is actually upon it.

According to Procopius, his brother Reparatus was one of the senators taken hostage by Witigis, but managed to escape before the Ostrogothic king ordered their slaughter in 537.

Procopius makes it clear that the Franks threw their axes immediately before hand to hand combat with the purpose of breaking shields and disrupting the enemy line while possibly wounding or killing an enemy warrior.

Even after he steadied his resolve to fight, Valens's efforts to forestall Procopius were hampered by the fact that most of his troops had already crossed the Cilician gates into Syria when he learned of the revolt.

Only in the spring of 366 had Valens assembled enough troops to deal with Procopius effectively.

He then met Procopius himself at Nacoleia and convinced his troops to desert him.

* April – May – Emperor Valens defeats the troops of Procopius in the Battle of Thyatira, bringing an end to his revolt ; Serenianus and Marcellus are killed.

With the help of Procopius and Romulus, he gathered in Constantinople troops composed by both citizens and foreigners in the house of a Caesarius, south of the Forum of Theodosius, and from there they marched at the same time on the imperial palace and on the house of Illus an Isaurian general supporter of Zeno.

Julian not wanting to give up what he had gained and probably still hoping for the arrival of the column under Procopius and Sebastianus, set off east into the Persian interior, ordering the destruction of the fleet.

It is to be noted that Procopius, who tells us how barges were dragged up the river by teams of oxen moving along it, must be describing the towpath, and not either the Via Portuensis or even the Via Campana, which is in many places at quite a considerable distance from the winding course of the river.

Major sources for Gothic history include Ammianus Marcellinus ' Res gestae, which mentions Gothic involvement in the civil war between emperors Procopius and Valens of 365 and recounts the Gothic refugee crisis and revolt of 376 – 82, and Procopius ' de bello gothico, which describes the Gothic war of 535 – 52.

An alternate name for Greek fire was " Median fire " (), and the 6th-century historian Procopius, records that crude oil, which was called naphtha ( in Greek νάφθα, naphtha, from Middle Persian نفت ( naft )) by the Persians, was known to the Greeks as " Median oil " ().

Procopius provides the primary source for the history of Justinian's reign.

Apart from his own writings, the main source for Procopius ' life is an entry in the Suda, a 10th century Byzantine encyclopedia that tells nothing about his early life.

The writings of Procopius are the primary source of information for the rule of the Roman emperor Justinian.

Though his early reception in the city seems to have been lukewarm, Procopius won favor quickly by using propaganda to his advantage: he sealed off the city to outside reports and began spreading rumors that Valentinian had died ; he began minting coinage flaunting his connections to the Constantinian dynasty ; and he further exploited dynastic claims by using the widow and daughter of Constantius II to act as showpieces for his regime.

Procopius was executed on 27 May and his head sent to Valentinian in Trier for inspection.

* June – In Rome, famine brings the city to despair, Belisarius sends his secretary Procopius to Naples for more reinforcements and supplies.

* Belisarius stands trial for corruption in Constantinople, possibly with Procopius acting as urban prefect.

* Eunomius of Cyzicus is banished to Mauretania for harbouring the usurper Procopius.

According to Procopius, the Heruli, after having raided the European continent for several generations, returned to Scandinavia in 512 AD as a result of military defeats.

He then went to live at Chalcedon, whence in 367 he was banished to Mauretania for harbouring the rebel Procopius.

According to the Byzantine historian Procopius, " From the start, Yazdegerd was a sovereign whose nobility of character had won for him the greatest renown.

This work in five books, On the Reign of Justinian, continues the history of Procopius, whose style it imitates, and is the chief authority for the period 552-558.

The 6th-century historian Procopius is the earliest authority for the statement that Helena was a native of Drepanum, in the province of Bithynia in Asia Minor.

During the Iberian and Lazic wars initiated in the Caucasus by Justinian I, it was noted by Procopius that Persian cataphract archers were adept at firing their arrows in very quick succession and saturating enemy positions but with little hitting power, resulting in mostly non-incapacitating limb wounds for the enemy.

Procopius, John Malalas, the Chronicon Paschale, and Zacharias called him " John the Cappadocian " for disambiguation reasons, as the name John ( Ioannes in Greek and Johannes in Latin ) were widely used by his time.
