I Ʋstinus vnderstanding that his dominions were inuaded in such sort as we haue declared be∣fore by reason of his ouer much insolencie and pride, banished witte, remoued reason out of her seat, tooke his infortunate successe farre more greeuous then the common course of nature could beare, and fell into frensie and madnes, so that he had no sense or vnderstanding of any thing that was done. Wherefore Tiberius a Thracian borne, one that was of chiefest authoritie and esti∣mation with Iustinus, tooke in hand the gouernment of the Empire. This man had lately bene sent by Iustinus, with great power to geue battell vnto the people Abari: Who when as his souldiers could not finde in their hearts to behold the Barbarians in the face, had without all peraduenture bene taken, had not the diuine prouidence of God beyond all mans expectation saued and restored him aliue into the Romaine dominions: for by following the rash and headie aduisement of Iusti∣nus, he together with the whole common weale of Rome, was in great daunger of vtter foile, and of loosing vnto the Barbarians, the great renowne of the Romaine Empire.
