“1. τοιαῦτα μὲν τὰ τῶν Βυζαντίων τείχη ἦν, Σεουῆρος δέ, ἐν ᾧ ταῦτα ἐπολιορκεῖτο, κατὰ τῶν βαρβάρων ἐπιθυμίᾳ δόξης ἐστράτευσε, τῶν τε Ὀρροηνῶν 1 καὶ τῶν Ἀδιαβηνῶν καὶ τῶν Ἀραβίων.” Xiph. 299, 25-303, 21 R. St. “ [2] ὅτι οἱ Ὀρροηνοὶ καὶ οἱ Ἀδιαβηνοὶ ἀποστάντες καὶ Νίσιβιν πολιορκοῦντες, καὶ ἡττηθέντες ὑπὸ Σεουήρου, ἐπρεσβεύσαντο πρὸς αὐτὸν μετὰ τὸν τοῦ Νίγρου θάνατον, οὐχ ὅπως ὡς καὶ ἠδικηκότες [p. 196] τι παραιτούμενοι, ἀλλὰ καὶ εὐεργεσίαν ἀπαιτοῦντες ὡς καὶ ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ τοῦτο πεποιηκότες: τοὺς γὰρ στρατιώτας τὰ τοῦ Νίγρου [3] φρονήσαντας ἔλεγον 2 ἐκείνου ἕνεκα ἐφθαρκέναι. καί τινα καὶ δῶρα αὐτῷ ἔπεμψαν, τούς τε αἰχμαλώτους καὶ τὰ λάφυρα τὰ περιοντα ἀποδώσειν ὑπέσχοντο. οὐ μέντοι οὔτε τὰ τείχη ἃ ᾑρήκεσαν ἐκλιπεῖν οὔτε φρουροὺς 3 λαβεῖν ἤθελον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς ἐξαχθῆναι ἐκ τῆς χώρας ἠξίουν. διὰ ταῦτα ὁ πόλεμος οὗτος συνέστη.” Exc. UG 69 (p. 413). “ ”
