The History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

CHAPTER XXXIX: Gothic Kingdom Of Italy
31/40

Cassiodorus (in Chron.) and Ennodius (p.

1604) are loyal and credulous, and the testimony of the Valesian Fragment (p.
718) may justify their belief.

Marcellinus spits the venom of a Greek subject--perjuriis illectus, interfectusque est, (in Chron.)] [Footnote 23: The sonorous and servile oration of Ennodius was pronounced at Milan or Ravenna in the years 507 or 508, (Sirmond, tom.
i.p.

615.) Two or three years afterwards, the orator was rewarded with the bishopric of Pavia, which he held till his death in the year 521.
