CAP. XIII.

Of Alamundarus and Azerethus, and the sedition at Constantinople, where the people had this watchword Nica, that is, ouercome.

THe aforesaid author handleth very learnedly, how Alamundarus (spoken of before) and A∣zerethus inuaded the marches of the Romaine dominions: how as they returned into their countrey, Belissarius was compelled of his armie to ioyne with them a litle before Easter day, beside Euphrates: how the Romaine power, for not following Belissarius counsell, was vtter∣ly foyled, and how Russinus and Hermogenes concluded a perpetuall league with the Persians, so that he moueth the reader very much. Immediatly he entreateth of the popular sedition raised at Constantinople, called Nica, by interpretation ouercome. For that was the watchword which they had chosen to discerne and know their friend from their foe. In which insurrection Hypatius and Pompeius were of the people constrained to rebell, yet after the rebelles were ouercome, Iusti∣man commaunded they two should be beheaded and throwne into the sea. Procopius wryteth, that in that skirmish there were staine thirtie thousand persons.
