Quotation Igitur, ut iam fassi sumus, in era DCLIII, anno Eraclii imperii IIII°, Arabas tirannizant et in era DCLVI Theudorum, Augusti germanum adgressi, pene per decem annos preliis fatigatum, postremo in bello diffusum exsuperant sicque resistentem acriter necant, regumque apud Damascum, propheta eorum Mammet innitente, excusso iam Romani nominis metu, pulice collocant.
Translation For, we have already said, in the era 653 (the fourth year of Eraclius' imperial rule), the Arabs rebelled and in the era 656 they attacked Theodorus the brother of the Augustus who was worn out by battles almost throughout ten years. Finally they overcame him as he came out in war and they killed him as he fiercely resisted. And they openly brought together a realm at Damascus, with the support of Mammet their prophet and the fear of the Roman name shaken off.
Summary Here the chronicle recounts extended campaigns by the Arabs over a period of ten years, and the establishment of a realm centred on Damascus.
