This man had very great influence on Zenonis the empress[1] and on Basiliscus himself.[2] He was killed by the emperor Zeno[3] and the citizens were overjoyed at the slaughter of this man. For in the time of emperor Leo,[4] he cut off the hands of whatever Thracians he caught and sent them to the rebels. But Onooulphos[5] killed him, a poor man who when he had come recently from the barbarians Hamartius had welcomed and first made a count, then the general of the Illyrians, and he readied a great deal of money to hold a banquet. But he repaid this man's barbaric disloyalty with a murderous hand.
