Thank you, Robert, a very engaging and persuasive work by the renowned Rance. That pretty much scuppers the mid-Justinianic date then. I then found another writer who encapsulates Rance's dating provisio as 'waffling' between the 9th and 10th centuries: http://www.casa-kvsa.org.za/ScholiaUpdat...-10whi.htm
That led me to a further internet search and now - thanks to you - I have Rance's 1994 PhD thesis sitting on my desktop: 295 pages entitled 'TACTICS AND 'TACTICA' IN THE SIXTH CENTURY :TRADITION AND ORIGINALITY'.
There goes my quiet evening of watching 'Alien: Covenant' . . .
