sigma 978.
[2] George of
Pisidia,
Heraclias 1.159-160 Tartaglia, the poet's rhetorical question to Heraclius. As Tartaglia notes (204, note 39) the allusion is to Alexander III ("the Great", cf.
alpha 1121), who could avail himself of the thinking of seasoned generals as well as of the sage advice of
Aristotle ("the Stagirite"; cf.
sigma 977,
alpha 3929, and
alpha 3930); Heraclius, however, had neither of these resources. On Heraclius, see generally
eta 465.

Agathias,
Histories 2.28, on Chosroes; more accurately (as well as more fully) at
chi 418.
