[2] An approximation of Theophylact Simocatta,
Histories 3.6.8, on the Persian attack on Suania in the summer and fall of 589; cf. de Boor (121) and Whitby (80). Simocatta's remark here concerns Suania (cf.
alpha 2811 note), not Colchis (cf.
kappa 1979), and the final participle is future: '...who would command'.
