Ὅτι ἐν ᾧ ἡ πόλις [καὶ] ὁ Βόσπορος ἣλω, οἱ πρέσβεις ἔτυχον παρὰ Τούρκους οἱ τῶν Ῥωμαίων, κἀκ τούτου γέγονε δῆλον ὡς Τοῦρκοι ἐξεπολεμήθησαν Ῥωμαίοις. τῷ τοι ἄρα καὶ τοὺς σταλέντας, ἐν οἷς Οὐαλεντῖνος ὐπῆρχε, κατέσχεν ὁ Τούρξανθος ἐφυβρίζων τε ἐς αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀποφενακίζων καὶ τὰ ἄλλα κακῶς χρώμενος, εἶτα οὕτως ἀφῆκεν. |
| Translation |
When the city of Bosporus was taken, the Roman envoys were close to the Turks. From this it was clear that the Turks had been provoked to war with the Romans. Therefore, those who had been sent, amongst whom was Valentinus, were detained by Turxanthus, insulted, mocked, and otherwise ill-treated, and then sent away. |
| Summary |
After an attack on Kerch/Borporus, the Roman envoys including Valentinus are detained and ill-treated by Turxanthus, and then sent away. |
