CHAP. I. Concerning the Empire of * 1.1Justinus Senior.
ANastasius therefore being (as I have said,) translated to a better allot∣ment, Justinus, by Extract a Thra∣cian, vests himself with the purple Robe, on the ninth day of the month Panemus, which amongst the Romans is termed July, in the Five hundredth sixty sixth year of Antioch's be∣ing styled a free City: he was declared [Empe∣rour] by the Imperial Guards, of whom also he was Commander, having been made a 1.2Master of the Offices at Court.

The same Procopius makes Justinus, not a Thracian, (as Evagrius, Cedrenus, and Zonaras do,) but an Illyrian, born at the Town B••derian••. Theophanes also says Justinus was an Illyrian. But, I cannot enough admire at the Author of the Alexandrian Chronicle, who although he makes him a Bederianite, yet terms him a Thracian. Vales.
