CHAP. XXIV. Concerning the slaughter of Armatus, who was kinsman to the Empress Verina.
BUT Zeno, by the perswasion of Illus, slew Armatus also, who was the Empress Ve∣rina's kinsman, whom, when sent [against him] by Basiliscus, Zeno had a 1.1 ensnared with gifts, and, instead of being an Enemy, had made him a Friend and an Auxiliary. He also creates his Son Basiliscus, Caesar, at the City Nicaea. But when he was come to Byzantium, he slays Ar∣matus by Treachery. But he makes his Son Ba∣siliscus, instead of being a Caesar, a Presbyter. Who was afterwards promoted to the Episco∣pall dignity.
Notes
a 1.1
Zeno brought o∣ver Arma∣tus to his own side, not only by gifts and pre∣sents, but by promi∣ses also. For he pro∣mised, that as soon as he had recovered the Empire, he would make Armatus perpetuall Magister [or, Master,] of the present Militia; and his Son Basiliscus, Caesar, and his own Assessour; as Theophanes tells us in his Chronicon. pag 107.

That is, But he also (as it frequently [hap∣pens,]) being blinded with gifts [sent] from Zeno, and with a promise of the perpetuall Mastership of the Milice, and that Zeno would make his Son Basiliscus, Gaesar, and his Assessour; returned with Zeno against Basiliscus. I write therefore, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, and with a promise of the perpotuall Mastership of the Milice. Theophanes terms the perpetuall power of Master of the Milice 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The Author of the Alexandrian Chronicle does fully confirm our Emendation. For he writes, that Zeno had made a promise to Armatus, that be would grant to him the Magisteriall power of the present Milice as long as he should live. Suidas relates much concerning this Armatus, in the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; which seem to have been taken out of Damascius in the Life of Hisydorus the Philosopher.
