Procopius,
History of the Wars of Justinian 8.9.3 (web address 1), on the Byzantine general Dagisthaios (cf.
delta 3). During the Lazic War (541-562) in 549 CE, Lazi ambassadors to the emperor Justinian (cf.
iota 446) accuse Dagisthaios of incompetence, treachery, and collusion with the Persians, after his earlier failure to capture the garrison at
Petra (on the eastern Black Sea coastline, present-day Georgia, Barrington Atlas map 87 grid G3); cf. Kaldellis (479) and
theta 432. Scholars generally identify ruins near the village of Tsikhisdziri (in the Autonomous Republic of Adjara, Georgia, 8 km south of the town of Kobuleti) as the site of ancient
Petra; cf. Braund (117) and Khoshtaria (367).
