Note 004
A year - absurd exaggeration! The conquest of
Africa may be dated A.D. 533, September 14. It is
celebrated by Justinian in the preface to his Institutes,
which were published November 21 of the same year. Including
the voyage and return, such a computation might be truly
applied to our Indian empire.
