[Footnote 86: The university, splendor, and ruin of Berytus
are celebrated by Heineccius (p. 351 - 356) as an essential
part of the history of the Roman law. It was overthrown in
the xxvth year of Justinian, A. D 551, July 9, (Theophanes,
p. 192;) but Agathias (l. ii. p. 51, 52) suspends the
earthquake till he has achieved the Italian war.]
