First sentence: Teias, who succeeded Totila as leader of the Goths, rallied his forces and made an all-out attack on Narses and the Romans, but he suffered an overwhelming defeat in a pitched battle which cost him his life;10 and those Goths who survived the battle were forced to come to terms with Narses because they found themselves exposed to constant attack from the Romans and crowded together in a confined and waterless spot.
