CAP. XVIII.

Chosroes recouered againe the kingedome of Persia by the meanes of the Empire of Rome.

CHosroes comminge to Hierapolis the heade citie of Euphratesia returned homewardes. Mauricius vnderstandinge thereof, weyinge more the furtherance of Chosroes then his owne fame & renowne, holpe him to a great summe of money which was not seene before: made him an armye of Persians vpon his owne costs & charges, furnished Chosroes both with Ro∣maynes & with Persians, & safe conduited him out of the Romayne dominiōs as farre as Martyro∣polis. And first of all, Sittas the traitor was deliuered vnto him, next y^• people of Martyropolis sto∣ned him & last of all they hanged him on the gallowes. The citye of Daras was also geuen vp vn∣to him, after that the Persians had priuely stolen away, and after that the Romaines alone had foi∣led Barames in one battaill and he fled awaye alone with greate ignominye, Chosroes was resto∣red vnto his kingedome.
