[Francisc Czobor]

Hi, Lorenzo,

Looking for translated works of Procopius and Cassiodorus, this is
what I've found by "googling" the web:

Procopiu's Secret History in English:
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/procop-anec.html

Regarding Cassiodorus, no complete translation in English.
Translated fragments:
Variae 4.51: http://www.theaterofpompey.com/auditorium/pa-
sources/cassiodorus-4-51.html
Excerpts from Variae:
http://www.deremilitari.org/RESOURCES/SOURCES/cassiodorus.htm
Excerpts from Institutiones:
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/jod/texts/cass.inst.html

Cassiodorus in Latin:
http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/cassiodorus.html
http://www.gmu.edu/departments/fld/CLASSICS/cassiodorus.variae.html
http://www.intratext.com/Catalogo/Autori/Aut58.HTM
The Variae: http://freespace.virgin.net/angus.graham/Cassiodorus.htm
The Variae etc.: http://www.forumromanum.org/literature/table.html

Secondary source about Cassiodorus: O'Donnell's "Cassiodorus":
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/jod/texts/cassbook/toc.html
http://www.ptsem.edu/grow/library/nyatla/cassiodorus/toc.htm

Regarding Amalaswintha, this name means rather "strength of the
Amals" or "strong (lady) of the Amals", since swintha is the feminine
form of the adjective swinths "strong, physically powerful".

Best regards,
Francisc
