For two squadrons of cavalry, of about seven hundred men, whohad just been sent from Illyricum to Mesopotamia as a reinforcement, andwho were guarding the passes, becoming enervated and timid, and fearinga surprise by night, withdrew from the public causeways in the evening, a time above all others when they most required watching.
3. And when it was remarked that they were all sunk in wine and sleep, about twenty thousa...nd Persians, under the command of Tamsapor andNohodares, passed without any one perceiving them, and fully armed asthey were, concealed themselves behind the high ground in theneighbourhood of Amida.
