Referenced multiple times as Procopius's scandalous account of Justinian and Theodora, containing the famous passages about Theodora's past and criticisms of Justinian as a demonic figure

Referenced in discussion about Theodora, wife of Emperor Justinian. The hosts mention that 'because of Procopius' secret history' they know details about Theodora, though noting the information is 'clearly kind of tabloid gossip, incredibly salacious gossip.' This is the famous 6th-century Byzantine historical work also known as 'Anecdota.'
