 John Malalas, Licinius Macer, and the history of Romulus
Malalas uses this story to provide the precedent for later emperors' employment of the royal pronoun (he tells us that Romulus issued orders and decrees as if they had come from both himself and his brother), evidence of an imperial embellishment added to the story.
Malalas also specifically states that the problem of finding brides for these men only arose because the Romans themselves refused to betroth their daughters, a detail which gives full force to the atmosphere of hostility and tension.
We have in Malalas three direct references to civil war or rioting because of the death of Remus: 1) at the moment of fratricide (7.172), 2) concerning the institution of chariot races (7.173), and 3) in discussion of race factions (7.176-77).

 Plagues from Athens to Justinian
John of Ephesus reported in his account that many ships would float aimlessly at sea, later washing up to shore with all of their crew dead from plague.
John of Ephesus stated that people died at a rate of 5,000 to 16,000 a day, and that men at the city gates stopped counting the exiting corpses at 230,000 when they realized the bodies were innumerable.
John of Ephesus, fragment 11, G. There is no mention in the sources, however, of the plague spreading to the livestock, an event which would certainly have increased the chaos in the countryside.

 John of Nikiû
He lived under John of Semnud, Isaac, and Simeon, respectively fortieth, forty-first, and forty-second patriarchs, and seems to have played an important part in the affairs of the Egyptian Church both as Bishop of Nikiû (Coptic, Pshati in the Delta) and as general administrator of the monasteries of Egypt.
But having disciplined a monk guilty of a grave offense against morals so severely that he died ten days later, he was deposed from both offices by the patriarch Simeon, and reduced to the rank of a simple monk.
In many respects it does not materially differ from the Byzantine chronicles, which the author often copies, especially those of John Malalas, and the monk John of Antioch.

 Justinian I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other talented individuals included Tribonian, his legal adviser; his finance ministers John of Cappadocia and Peter Barsymes, who managed to collect taxes more efficiently than any before thus funding Justinian's wars; and finally, his talented generals Belisarius and Narses.
Contemporary sources (John Malalas, Theophanes, John of Ephesus) tell of severe persecutions, even of men in high position.
The serious blunder that he had made at the beginning by abetting after Justin's accession a severe persecution of the Monophysite bishops and monks and thereby embittering the population of vast regions and provinces, he remedied eventually.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Justinian
On 20 July, 518, a synod was held in Constantinople of the bishops in the region.
Upon receipt of his letter, the patriarch John of Jerusalem summoned a synod, attended by Mar Saba, the archimandrite of the lauras in Palestine and a strong Chalcedonian, which followed the examples of Constantinople.
The patriarch John of Constantinople was unhappy, but under pressure he signed the papal libellus on Maundy Thursday (28 March, 519) in the presence of Justin, the senate and clergy.

Nor does Malalas himself specifically connect the suppression of paganism throughout the Byzantine Empire with the prohibition of philosophical instruction in Athens.
Nor, according to Malalas' account, does it follow of necessity that the Academy in Athens was specifically targeted for closure for whatever reason.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Justinian
But later that year, Justinian appointed John Troglita, an experienced commander who was able to win a major victory in 548, after which Africa was at peace, and it seems to have been reasonably prosperous thereafter until the Arab conquest.
John Troglita's achievement is memorialized by the Johannid, an epic written swiftly by an African schoolmaster, Corippus, who presumably got to Constantinople as a reward, for he was there to write a panegyric on the accession of Justin II when Justinian died.
He argued that John, insubordinate though he might have been, could not be abandoned to the Goths, and a message arrived from John himself saying that Rimini could not last any longer than another week.
