Note 001
All the passages of the Byzantine history which
relate to the Barbarians are compiled, methodized, and
transcribed, in a Latin version, by the laborious John
Gotthelf Stritter, in his "Memoriae Populorum, ad Danubium,
Pontum Euxinum, Paludem Maeotidem, Caucasum, Mare Caspium,
et inde Magis ad Septemtriones incolentium." Petropoli, 1771
- 1779; in four tomes, or six volumes, in 4to. But the
fashion has not enhanced the price of these raw materials.
