col. 3 reign rather well, since he was reigning for 4 years [A.D.497-500]. And
Cabades-he reigned for another 30 years [A.D.501-531], having reigned
another 11 years previously, having reigned for 41 years totally. Chosroes
succeeded by the combined testimony of Malalas and Procopius in September of
the 5 th year of Justinian, or septrember A.D.531: conf. a. from whence the
41+4=45 years will carry back the accession of Cabades to the autumn of
A.D.486.

in Phoenicia and Syria after the death of Agarus, his brother Badicharimus he
raided the areas like a storm and after the plundering he raided them even
harder, so seeking Romanus not to prevent the adversaries (enemies). At the
year and the so-called Bulgarians attacked Illyria and Thrace before they
become known. P.124 A Anastasii 12 o at this year made peace (offered
libations) with Aretha the father of Badicharimus and Agarus-and after that
the whole Palestine and Phoenicia enjoyed a lot of serenity and peace.
Cedrennus p.358 C at the 10 th and 11 th years the Saracens raided again in the
Phoenicia and Syria, and The Bulgarians attacked Illyria and Thrace. At the
12 th year Anastasius offered libations to Aretha (made peace) , and after that
whole Palestine etc. Theophanes and Cedernus are not accurate in their account
of the Bulgarians. Their first appearance was in the 9 th of Anastasius:
conf.a.499. Their irruption into Thrace was in the 12 th , as we learn from
Marcellinus.

Procop. Pers.I.7 p.20 A Cabades-was known to campaign against the Romans
[conf. Theod. Lect. P.566 D]. and initially he entered Armenia self-announced
and after he plundered a lot he arrived suddenly to Amida, a city of
Mesopotamia; and he began besieging the city in the winter. He describes the
siege p.20 A-22 A. taken on the 80 th day: p. 22B the city was captured at the
80 th day from the commencement of the besieging. Referred by Theophanes
p.124 C to the 13 th of Anastasius: at this year Cabades etc.-attacked initially
Armenia with a big Persian and imported crowd (army) and he captures
Theodosiopolis.-Then he arrived in Mesopotamia and besieges Amida.-Finally
someone betrays Amida to Persians, which was being besieged for over three
months by the barbarians and was betrayed at night from one of the towers
which was defended by monks. And by Cedrennus p.358 D at the 13 th year
Cabades the king of Persians expedites to Amida and captures the city.
Malalas XVI p.114 does not give the year; but the siege is fixed to the 12 th of
Anastasius by Evagrius III.37 (conf.a.503.3) and to the winter by Procopius.
Anastasius therefore of 503/3; and the city was taken in the beginning of 503.
