Text: Procopius, De Bello Getico, III.20.29-30:
Καὶ Γότθοι μὲν Ῥουστικιανὴν κτείνειν ἐν σπουδῇ ἐποιοῦντο, ἐπικαλοῦντες ὅτι δὴ χρήματα πτοϊεμένη τοῖς τοῦ Ῥωμαίων στρατοῦ ἄρχουσι τὰς Θευδερίχου εἰκόνας διαφθείρειε, τοὺς φόνους ἀμυνομένη Συμμάχου τε τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ Βοετίου τοῦ ξυνοικήσαντος.		 Trans: Procopius, De Bello Getico, III.20.29-30:
The Goths were already plotting to kill Rusticiana, accusing her that she bribed the leaders of the Roman army to destroy the images of Theoderic, thus taking revenge on the killings of her father Symmachus and of Boethius her husband.
