in 557: conf.a.] and after the quieted down lived (in peace) for a long time.-In the
meanwhile the nation of Tzani-descended against the villages and the farmland in the
area of Pontus and they were plundering them and they were robbing the travelers;
they also attacked Armenia. Not long after the earthquake of Dec. 557: V.3 p.145 C of
these, not long before the earthquake in Byzantium an event etc. Which determines

The Huns in Thrace: Malal. XVIII p.235 in March of the 7 th indiction [March 559] the
Huns and the Slavs revolted in Thrace.-they arrived at the wall of CP. After they have
destroyed places they left from there and the reached until Stratonike. Theophanes
p.197 C-198C Justiniani this year was the 32 nd year of Justinian-the Huns and Slavs
reveolted in Thrace etc.-and after the king realized that the barbarians insisted (in
revolting) he ordered the noble Belisarius to attack (campaign against) them. They
remained till Easter: until the Holy Easter. And till August: similarly the barbarians
patrolled outside the city until August: [the last month of the 32 nd year as Theophanes
computed: conf.a.565.4] They are at least permitted to retire beyond the Danube:
through the mediation of an ambassador they were permitted to cross Danube without
fear (danger). Cedrenus p.386 D at the 32 nd year-revolted the Huns and the Slavs [1.
the Huns and the Slavs] in Thrace etc. Agathias V.11 agrees in the time of the irruption.
He describes the four tribes of the Huns; two had been destroyed in former times, two
had remained till the reign of Leo A.D.458-473: at that year, when they said that the
pestilence fell on the city [A.d.558] the remaining Hun gens survived, and they even
were known (famous); However, after the Huns descended towards the south wind
(south) they were camping not far from the bank of Istrus river (Danube), where they
were deliberating. Then, when the winter arrived [the winter of 558/9], the brookswere
deep-frozen- the king of the Huns he crosses very easily and-he attacked Thrace.
Belisarius, now in old age, is sent against them: V.15 p.160 B General Belisarius,
although he has already been old, was sent by the king against them. His measures
c.16. His victory c.19 p.165 A. Justinian and his ministers are jealous of the fame and
popularity of Belisarius: V.20 p.160 A they accused the man as arrogant etc. The Huns
were opposed in the Chersonese by Germanus: V.21.23. At length Justinian purchased
the retreat of the barbarians: p. 169 D the king sent them gold.-so, they stopped
plundering and they returned home. Victor Tun. places this irruption in 560: Post
cons. Basilii anno XIX [sc. A.D.559] Ugni Armenian gravissime vexaverunt. Basilii
anno XX [A.D. 560] sBulgares Thraciam invandunt et uusque ad Sucas CP. veniunt.u.-
Sed patricii Belisarii armis fortiter debelatti pariterque fugati Danubium transierunt.
