History of the Wars of Justinian 2.25.29 (web address 1), on the Persian rout of the Romans at the Battle of Anglon (543 CE); cf. Kaldellis (128) and
kappa 588. For earlier instances of the phrase see e.g.

Cyropaedia 4.2.30, 5.3.12. The well-fortified mountain village of Anglon (some 13 miles from the city of Dvin (Duin, Dubios, Doubios), capital of medieval Armenia; cf. Barrington Atlas map 89 grid G1), with its narrow, precipitous streets, provided ample defilade for the defending Persians to ambush and drive back a numerically superior Roman force; cf. Bury (107-108).
