1For about the year of our lord .269. the Emperor of Constantinople, expulsing the East Goths, did institute a new government in Italy. But sins this kind of rule and government is not known to all men, I will briefly recite what and how great it was by the words of Nauclerus the Historiographer, ex generat. .20. Than began, sayeth he, the City of Rome and Italy to have a new manner of government, by the which they lost more the dignity, glory, and fear over all the world, than of all the calamities, which these .160. years have afflicted them, and at the last had left Rome to be inhabited of wild beasts.

For Longinus brought in a newe name of dignitie, thexarchate of Italie: that is the high Magistrate. Whiche kepyng still at Rauenna, went neuer to the Citie of Rome. And in the gouernement
