In this year Herakleios sent ambassadors to the Chagan of the Avars to reproach him for the unlawful deeds he had done and urge him to make peace; for, intending to make an expedition against Persia, he wished to be at peace with the Chagan. Now the Chagan, out of respect for the emperor’s friendly attitude, offered his regrets and promised to observe peace. After agreeing on the amount of the tribute, the ambassadors returned in peace. |
