CHAP. XVII. Concerning the Spoyls which were brought out of Africa.

THe same Procopius hath recorded this pas∣sage. When Belisarius (says he) having vanquished the Vandalls, was returned to Con∣stantinople, bringing along with him the Spoyls, the Prisoners of War, and Gelimeres himself King of the Vandalls; a Triumph was granted him, [at which time] he lead through the Cirque all things that were worthy of admiration. Amongst which there was a vast Treasure; for Gizerichus had heretofore plundered the Pallace at Rome, (as has before been related by me;) at such time as Eudoxia Wife to Valentinian Emperour of the Western Romans, (having both lost her Hus∣band by Maximus's means, and also been injured as to her Chastity,) had sent for Gizerichus, promising she would betray the City t•• ••im. At which time [Gizerichus] burnt Ro••••, and car∣ried away Eudoxia with her two Daughters into the Country of the Vandalls. When also, together with other Treasures, he made plunder of what ever Titus Son to Vespasian had brought to Rome, after his Conquest of Jerusalem; to wit, Solo∣mon's Gifts, which he had dedicated to God. Which Gifts Justinian sent to Jerusalem again, in honour to Christ our God; whereby he ex∣hibited a due honour to God, to whom they had been before dedicated. Procopius says also, that Gelimeres, lying then prostrate on the ground in the Cirque, over against the Empe∣rours Throne whereon Justinian sate and be∣held what was done, uttered this divine Oracle in his own Country Language, Vanity of Vani∣ties, all is Vanity.
