ὁ δὲ Ὁϱμίσδας, <ὁ τῶν Πεϱςῶν βασιλεύς,> στϱατηγὸν χειϱοτονήσας τὸν Βαϱὰμ ἅμα δυνάμεσι πολλαῖ; ϰατὰ Σουανίας ἐϰπέμπει. ἀδοχήτως δὲ ταύτῃ ἐπιστάς, ϰαταπολεμηϑέντων τῶν Τούϱϰων ὑπὸ τῶν Πεϱςῶν, τοσοῦτον Ὁϱμίσδας ηὐξήϑη, ὡς ϰαὶ φόϱους μ΄ χιλιάδας χϱυσοῦ παϱὰ τῶν Τούϱϰων λαβεῖν, πϱότεϱον τούτου τὰ ῖσα τοῖς Τούϱϰοις τελοῦντος. |
| Translation |
AM 6080 (587/8) (p. 385) Hormisdas, (the emperor of the Persians), after appointing Baram as general, sent him with a large army to Souania, where he made an unexpected attack so that the Turks were thoroughly defeated by the Persians. This so strengthened Hormisdas that he was able to exact a tribute of 40,000 gold coins from the Turks, whereas previously he had been paying the Turks the same amount. |
| Summary |
Persian attack on the Turks of Souania (south of the Caucasus mountains) under Hormisdas, which reverses the previous arrangement of the Persians paying a tribute of 40,000 gold coins to the Turks. |
