Notes:
The headword, in the accusative case, is presumably extracted from the first quotation given; it is also illustrated by the second one.
[1] Quotation unidentifiable (unless it is an extremely loose paraphrase of Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 6.4.6).
[2] Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 8.1.2, abridged (and here misquoted, with the headword in the accusative; it should be nominative); cf. de Boor (283), Whitby (209). The time frame of these events is probably late in the reign of the emperor Maurice (582-602, cf.
mu 294 generally), when Chosroes II was angered over Saracen forays into Persian territory; cf. Whitby (209, note 1). On the Saracens, see
sigma 112 generally. On Chosroes II, see generally
alpha 2015 note.
