CHAP. XIII. Concerning Alamundarus and Azarethus; and concerning that Sedition at Constantinople, which had the name Nica given it.

[THe same Authour] * 1.1 most passionately describes the Incursion of the fore men∣tioned Alamundarus and Azarethus into the † 1.2 Roman Pale; and how Belisarius, forced there∣to by his own Army, made an attaque upon those Barbarians in their return to their own Country, near the Banks of The Euphrates, the Festivall of Easter then approaching; and how the Roman Army was ruined, by their refusing to obey the advices of Belisarius: and lastly, how Rufinus and Hermogenes made that Peace with the Persians called * 1.3 The Interminate Peace. To which † 1.4 he subjoyns the popular Sedition that hapned at Byzantium, whereto The ‖ 1.5 Word of the people gave a name. For they gave it the Appellation of Nica, [because] the po∣pulacy being assembled together had given one another this † 1.6 Word, in order to their distin∣guishing one another. In that [Sedition,] Hypatius and Pompeius were by the populacy forced to set up for Tyrants. But the Heads of them both by Justinian's Command were cut off by the Souldiers, and drowned in the Sea; the people having been soon quelled. More∣over, Procopius affirms, that Thirty thousand men perished * 1.7 in this Tumult.
