[Footnote 58: A still greater number was consumed by famine
in the southern provinces, without the Ionian Gulf. Acorns
were used in the place of bread. Procopius had seen a
deserted orphan suckled by a she-goat. Seventeen passengers
were lodged, murdered, and eaten, by two women, who were
detected and slain by the eighteenth, &c.
Note: Denina considers that greater evil was inflicted upon
Italy by the Urocian conquest than by any other invasion.
