Res Gestae

Presently the Jews hastened to Verona, where the king was, and there the head-chamberlain Triwane acted on their behalf; he, too, as a heretic favoured the Jews, and cajoled the king into taking action against the Christians. Accordingly Theodoric, on the presumption that they had resorted to arson, presently gave orders that the whole Roman[*](The Gothic population was not included, since they had taken no part in the burning.) population should furnish money for the rebuilding of the

synagogues of Ravenna which had been burned; and that those who did not have anything from which they could give should be whipped[*](The form frustati for fustati occurs in the edict Langob. Luitpr. ch. 141, facit eas decalvari et frustari per vicos vicinantes (Mommsen, who reads it here, with B).) through the streets of the city while a herald made proclamation of their offence. This was in substance the order given to Eutharicus, Cilliga, and the Bishop Peter, and thus it was carried out.
