	Liberius the Patrician: notes
		The name Liberius itself is extremely uncommon among the aristocracy (only three bearers of the name are listed in PLRE 1 and 2, over a period of 260 years); the only other one known in our subject's lifetime comes from Gaul, and is related by marriage to Ennodius (Cass., Variae 4.46; Sundwall, Abhandlungen 136).
		Note that Liberius sided with Justinian on the 'Three Chapters' and was publicly involved in both the Council of Constantinople and the Pragmatic Sanction; Cassiodorus was apparently on the other side of the theological controversy and not involved in any of the public affairs of the period.
		Liberius was also the leader of the delegation which reported to the council on May 9 the results of visits to Vigilius on May 1 and 7.

		But Liberius after he had been in banishment two years gave way, and from fear of threatened death was induced to subscribe.
		Yet even this only shews their violent conduct, and the hatred [Note 29] of Liberius against the heresy, and his support of Athanasius, so long as he was suffered to exercise a free choice.
