Menander Protector fr. 5.4 Blockley (52-52, =
De legationibus gentium ad Romanos 4.31-32). Open hostilities between the Avars (cf.
alpha 18 generally) and the Romans commenced when Justinian (cf.
iota 446 generally) in 562 (possibly 561, cf. Blockley (253, note 26)) detained Avar envoys in
Byzantion while their khan Baian (cf.
alpha 209 generally) had demanded their return directly after the breakdown of negotiations. Find another excerpt from this fragment at
