Excerpt from Procopius, Vol. 5 of 7: With an English Translation; History of the Wars, Books VII (Continued) And VIII

As soon as the emperor saw Belisarius returned to Byzantium, he began to make plans for sending another commander with an army against the Groths and Totila. And if he had actually carried out this idea, I believe that, with Rome still under his power, and the soldiers in the city saved for him and enabled to unite with the relieving force from Byzantium, he would have overcome his opponents in the war. But in fact, after first selecting Liberius, one of the patri eiaus from Rome, and ordering him to make himself ready, he later, perhaps because some other business claimed his attention, lost interest in the matter.
