Note 080
The strain of the Anecdotes of Procopius, (c.
11, 13, 18, 27, 28,) with the learned remarks of Alemannus,
is confirmed, rather than contradicted, by the Acts of the
Councils, the fourth book of Evagrius, and the complaints of
the African Facundus, in his xiith book - de tribus
capitulis, "cum videri doctus appetit importune
...spontaneis quaestionibus ecclesiam turbat." See Procop.
de Bell. Goth. l. iii. c. 35.]
