Quotation Ὑπὸ δὲ τὸν αὐτὸν καιρὸν ἐπανέστη Κούβρατος ὁ ἀνεψιὸς Ὀργανᾶ ὁ τῶν Οὐνογουνδούρων κύριος τῷ τῶν Ἀβάρων χαγάνῳ, καὶ ὃν εἶχε παρ᾿ αὐτoῦ λαὸν περιυβρίσας ἐξεδίωξε τῆς οἰκείας γῆς. διαπρεσβεύεται δὲ πρὸς Ἡράκλειον καὶ σπένδεται εἰρήνην μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, ἥνπερ ἐφύλαξαν μέχρι τέλους τῆς ἐαυτῶν ζωῆς· δῶρά τε γὰρ αὐτῷ ἔπεμψε καὶ τῇ τοῦ πατρικίον ἀξίᾳ ἐτίμησεν.
Translation At about the same time Koubratos, the nephew of Organas and lord of the Onogundurs (Ounogoundoúroi), rose up against the Chagan of the Avars (Abárōn khagán) and, after abusing the army he had from the latter, drove them out of his land. He sent an embassy to Herakleios and concluded a peace treaty which they observed until the end of their lives. <Herakleios> sent him gifts and honored him with the title of patrician.
Summary Koubratos and the Onogundurs rise against the Avars.
