[2] Theophylact Simocatta, Histories 5.10.1; on Chosroes II, allied with the Romans, battling the Persian rebel Baram (summer of 491); cf. de Boor (206) and Whitby (145). On Chosroes, see chi 418 note. On Baram, see beta 103 and kappa 1128. This engagement took place south of Lake Matiane (Urmia, Urmiah; cf. epsilon 2328 note). Confronted with superior numbers, Baram's troops had retreated up into favorable mountainous terrain. Chosroes ordered the fighters under his command to attack nonetheless, but the Romans maintained their ordered formation, while the loyal Persians in the contingent advanced and were routed by the rebels; cf. Histories 5.9.7-11.
