Cum itaque tribunal idem escendisset Procopius, et cunctis stupore defixis, timeret silentium triste, procliviorem viam ad mortem (ut sperabat), existimans advenisse, per artus tremore diffuse, implicatior ad loquendum, diu tacitus stetit; pauca tamen interrupta et moribunda voce dicere iam exorsus, quibus stirpis propinquitatem imperatoriae praetendebat, leni paucorum susurro, pretio illectorum, deinde tumultuariis succlamationibus plebis, imperator appellatus incondite, petit curiam raptim. Ubi nullo clarissimorum sed ignobilium paucitate inventa, palatium pessimo pede, festinatis passibus introiit.
