Note 106 The expressions of Procopius are distinct and moderate (de Bell. Vandal. l. i. c. 2 [tom. i. p. 6, ed. Bonn]). The chronicle of Marcellinus speaks too strongly, partem urbis Romae cremavit; and the words of Philostorgius (1. xii. c. 3) convey a false and exaggerated idea. Bargaeus has composed a particular dissertation (see tom. iv. Antiquit. Rom. Graev.) to prove that the edifices of Rome were not subverted by the Goths and Vandals.
