History of the Wars of Justinian 1.20.9 (web address 1): "so that the Homeritai would appoint the exile Kaïsos phylarch to the Maddenoi". The emperor Justinian (cf.
iota 446) sends an envoy (ca. 528 CE) to the Homeritai (Himyarites; a people of southern Arabia, living in the highlands of present-day Yemen; cf. Barrington Atlas map 4 grids B3-C3), urging them to install the Arab chief Kaïsos (Qays; cf. PLRE IIIa s.v. Caisus) as leader of the neighboring Maddenoi and, together with them, to then attack the Persian Empire; cf. Kaldellis (53) and
kappa 819.
