Hefell back on Ctesiphon; but despairing of making a successful defence, with the few troops that remained faithful to him, against theoverwhelming force which Bahram had at his disposal, he resolved toevacuate the capital, to quit Persia, and to throw himself on thegenerosity of some one of his neighbors. It is said that his choicewas long undetermined between the Turks, the Arabs, the Khazars ofthe Caucasian region, and the Romans. According to some writers, afterleaving Ctesiphon, with his w...ives and children, his two uncles, and anescort of thirty men, he laid his reins on his horse's neck, and left itto the instinct of the animal to determine in what direction he shouldflee. The sagacious beast took the way to the Euphrates; and Chosroes, finding himself on its banks, crossed the river, and, following up itscourse, reached with much difficulty the well-known Roman station ofCircesium. He was not unmolested in his retreat. Bahram no sooner heardof his flight than he sent off a body of 4000 horse, with orders topursue and capture the fugitive.
