640/641 wealthy citizen (in Egypt) A wealthy citizen, who took his followers and joined the Arabs in their conquest of Egypt; after his wife and mother were seized in Alexandria, he yielded to the promptings of Theodorus 166, sent him a large sum of money, and returned with his men to the Romans; Joh.

A member of the Umayyad clan of Quraysh, he was an early associate of the Prophet; sent in 634 (year thirteen of the Hegira) by AbG Bakr to the Byzantine frontier, to establish control over Arab tribes in the area, he was based at Tayma from where he had encounters with Byzantine forces and was defeated ; dismissed by Aba Bakr and replaced in by Yazid, he was supposedly pardoned by Umar and sent to serve as-Suffar Marj of battle the in Syria under Shurahbil; he was killed (perhaps carly 635); cf enc. of Islam® tv, pp. 927-8 (EL. Loucel) and see Baladhuri, p. 107 (= Hitti, p. 165), p. 118 (= Hitti, pp. 182~3) (his

VII

In Arabic tradition he was nicknamed Sayf Allah (Sword of Allah), cf. Theoph. AM 6123, Cedr, t 751 (O XdAeSos (XaAcBos; Cedr.) ov Aéyouolv pdyaipav TOU Oeov). A member of the Makhziim clan of Quraysh, he was originally an opponent of Mohammed but was converted to Islam in 627 (year six of the Hegira) or 629 (year eight of the Hegira); Baladhuri, p. 77 = Hitu, p. 118, and see Ene. of Islam’ 2 1, pp. 878-9 (K. V. Zetterstein), and Lene. of Islam® w, 928-9 (P. Crone). In Sept. 629 he was the only one of the

four Arab commanders defeated by Theodorus 162 at Mu‘ta to survive; Theoph. AM 6123 (6 eis &unp&s), Cedr. 1751 (in fact he took command g after three generals had already been killed and saved the remainin which army d's Mohamme with was he s afterward Avab forces). Shortly

He was then ordered by Abii Bakr to go to Syria to reinforce Arab

thirteen), p. 250 = Hitti, p. 400 (Rabi I or Rabi II of year thirteen). His crossing of the desert to Syria, probably via Palmyra to Damascus, acquired legendary status; see Donner, op. cit., pp. 119-27. On reaching Damascus he joined forces with Aba ‘“Ubaydah and commanded the Arab forces which captured Bostra and subdued the Hauran; he was in command at the Arab victory of Ajnddayn (perhaps July 30, 634), and may have been initially supreme Arab commander but this position was conferred on Abii ‘Ubaydah by the new caliph Umar; subsequently Khalid was active in Syria under Abii ‘Ubaydah taking part in the siege of Damascus and the battle of the Yarmuk (636), in which he was the architect of the Arab victory, and in various

operations to extend the Arab conquest of Syria; Baladhurt, pp. 1og-16, 120~3, 126, 130, 144, 177-8, 188 = Hitti, pp. 169-78, 186-9, 193, 200, 223, 277-8, 293~4, Anon. Guidi, p. 37 = p. 31, Bar Hebr., Chron., P. 945

In summer 536 on learning that the rebel Stotzas was in Numidia with his men at Gadiaufala (which Procepius calls Gazophyla), Marcellus took his army to attack him there; however Stotzas induced the soldiers to desert and Marcellus with all the other commanders sought sanctuary in a church at Gadiaufala; they came out only after receiving pledges from Stotzas, but were all executed by him; Proc.

protests by the provincials and the restriction of its authority by ov. 145 in 553, also echo the situation in Cilicia. Possibly Marthanes was also a dux in Cilicia with the title of BroxwAvrns. VIR MAGNIFICVS, COMES DOMESTICORVM a. 550 June 17, ACOec. tv 4, p. 118. The title by this date was honorific and probably conferred on him the status of vir illustris.

in Cilicia concerning the removal from the diptychs of the name of Theodorus of Mopsuestia and to transmit the findings back to the

emperor; ACQec. tv i, p. 117. He attended the synod, held on June

The otpatnAdtns of 559/560 is not to be identified with the CRP of 558, Marthanes 2; there were therefore two men in high office at this time with this name, one civil and one military, On balance the man in Procopius and at Mopsuestia seems more likely to be the one whose career was military.

In 533 Martinus was one of the nine officers who commanded the foederati (&pyovres ... poidepartov) on the expedition against the Vandals; Proc. BV 1 11.56 (for the others, see Althias). According to

Zach. HE ix 17 the expedition was under the command of Martinus, Belisarius and Archelaus; to judge from Procopius, this source

exaggerates the role of Martinus; it was perhaps composed when he had become a person of importance in the east (cf below) and his name was familiar. Before the main force set sail in mid June 533 from Coustantinople, Martinus and Valerianus 1 were sent ahead to await the others in the Peloponnese; Proc, BV 1 11.24. An incident at their departure, when Justinian, not wishing to delay them, ordered them not to return or disembark, was interpreted as a bad omen; however, Procopius applies the portent, not to Martinus and Valerianus, but to Stotzas, future rebel in Africa, who at that time was one of Martinus’ bodyguard (év rots

Maprtivou Sopupdpois); Proc. BV 1 11.25-30. They went to Methone where they were soon joined by Belisarius with Proc. BV 1 13.9. Martinus was doubtless present throughout Jandals, although he is mentioned by name of Procopius. At the battle of Tricamarum in

Martinus was sent by Beli arius with Vilaris 1 and a large

to help Milan,

which

was then under siege from

the Goths

under

Vraias; Proc. BG nm at.t, cf 18.19 and 22 for the date (soon after the relief of Ariminum). They advanced as far as the river Po, one day’s march from Milan, made camp and remained there for a long while deliberating whether to cross: Proc. BG m 21.2. They were visited Paulus 6, an envoy from Mundilas in Milan, urging them to hurry to the city’s aid, and they sent him back with promises of speedy assistance; Proc. BG mat. 3-10. Nevertheless they remained where they were and more time elapsed while they still hesitated whether to cross, ev entually Martinus wrote to Belisarius explaining that the delay was due to the

presence in Liguria of large Gothic and Burgundian forces, too numerous

for his army to engage, and requesting that Ioannes 46 and Tustinus 2 be sent with reinforcements; a further delay now occurred while Ioannes and lustinus had their orders from Belisarius confirmed by Narses; Proc. BG 1 21.12-25. However the delays went on too long and Milan

surrendered to the Goths, whereupon

Martinus and Vliaris marched

21.42 (this occurred in spring 5393 their army back to Rome; Proc. BG cf. Proc. BG 1 22.1). Procopius reports that, after this disaster, Belisarius

refused to see Viens ever again, but he says nothing of Martinus; it would appear that all the blame was cast on Vliaris; cf. Proc, BG nu 22.24. Later in 539 Martinus and Ioannes 46 with their men and another army under loannes 64 were sent to the region of the river Po with orders to prevent Wraias from leaving Milan and attacking the forces of Belisarius then occupied in besieging Faesulae and Auximum; if they could not prevent him, they were to follow and harass him from the rear; they occupied Dertona where they made camp and remained; Proc. BG i 23.35. Their presence helped to deter Vitigis from leaving Ravenna to relieve Auximum;

Proc. BG m 24,12. They

also checked

the advance

of Vraias who, under orders from Vitigis, left Milan for Ticinum and made camp close to the Roman position at Dertona; the armies remained there without fighting a battle; Proc. BG n 24,21-4. The arrival of the Franks under Theodebert surprised both armies; the Goths

took flight while Martinus and Toannes, forced to fight against superior numbers, were defeated and fled into Tuscany, where they reported what had happened to Belisarius; Proc. BG u 25.13-15,a 25,19. Later,

after Theodebert withdrew to Gaul, Martinus and Toannes returned in order to prevent any help reaching the Goths who were still under siege;

when they heard that Sisigis and Thomas

Vraias in the Cottian Alps; they hastened to the rescue and captured a number of forts in the Alps, taking many prisoners among whom chanced to be the wives and children of many of Vraias’ soldiers; the latter then deserted to join the Romans under Ioannes and Vraias was compelled to withdraw; Proc.

remaining inactive with the commanders in various cities throughout Italy, cf. Proc. BG m1 6.6-8). He sailed from Constantinople with a force consisting of Armenian and Thracian troops under Phazas and Herodianus 1 and accompanied also by some Huns; on reaching Epirus the expedition wasted time with unnecessary delays; the reason, according to Procopius, was that Maximinus, having no experience of war, was afraid and unwilling to make a move; Proc. BG m 610-12. Eventually he proceeded with the expedition to Sicily where he settled

in Syracuse and again remained inactive through fear of war (Houxy éueve, KaTOppwSav T& Trodépict); Proc. BG ut 7.1, He was now urgently approached for help by the various Roman

commanders,

Conon 1, besieged by Totila in Naples, but he continued to waste time through fear; eventually he yielded to threats from the emperor and abuse from his colleagues and sent his whole force under Herodianus, Demetrius 3 and Phazas to help Naples, although remaining in Syracuse himself; it was now nearly winter (542/543); Proc.

Maximinus is not mentioned again by Procopius; the attempt to relieve Naples ended in disaster (cf. Proc. BG ut 7.4~7) and Maximinus

For the date, seventy-three years after 485, cf Bagnall and others. Consuls, p. 65, n. 33.

Alexandria to reinstate the deposed monophysite bishop Theodosius and exile Gaianus, his orthodox rival; this Narses did in the face of great opposition and for sixteen months, while Theodosius remained in Alexandria, he had to wage virtual civil war against the local opposition, at one stage setting fire to part of the city; in autumn 536 Theodosius abandoned the see because of the troubles and left for Constantinople, presumably accompanied by Narses; Liberat.

therefore

he was

Stein, Unlersuchungen, pp. 242-3, Bas-Emp. u 358. By the end of Justinian’s reign the post of sacellarius appears to have been combined with that of praeposilus sacri cubicult (instead of primicerius sacri cubiculi as before); see Callinicus 2 and cf. Stein, doc. cit. Possibly therefore Narses was given this same combination of posts in 538, if not already in 537, perhaps in reward for his efforts in Alexandria. Vir ill(ustris), praepositus

were only released in summer 539 when Belisarius refused to allow the

the magnificence due to the name of Rome, which his predecessors had through their folly almost destroyed (this presumably alludes to Petrus’ role in restoring and preserving court ceremonial, cf. below); he conducted himself with a dignity worthy of his office and showed himself

Son of Ioannes 102 (of Resapha) and a leading citizen of Edessa, he was his father’s only surviving heir; he was carried off to Persia with his mother when Chosroes captured Edessa (in c, 607) (cf Toannes 102) but

treated with honour and included by the Persian king among his close associates

(‘inter

he eventually

returned

home (presumably in 628/629, after Heraclius made peace with Persia)

he was unable to discover the family treasures which had been buried by

his mother for safety but nevertheless he married, had a family and enjoyed the family properties (listed as ‘pagi, horti, molendina tabernae’, as well as his ‘domus’ at Edessa); Chron. 1234, Ixxxvil.

A native of Cilicia, a pagan and a philosopher, he was one of those who accompanied Damascius (PLRE m1) to Persia under Chosroes in 531/532 (the others were Eulamius, Priscianus, Hermeias 1, Diogenes 1 and Isidorus 2); all were unhappy at the dominance of Christianity in the empire and hoped to find a more congenial atmosphere in Persia;

they were

disillusioned

and

returned

to the empire

but

with

their

freedom and security guaranteed under the terms of a treaty; Agath. 30-1, esp. 30.3 (= Suid, TT 2251), and cf. Alan Cameron, Proc. Cainb.

He was a student of philosophy at Alexandria under Ammonius (PLRE 1) and then at Athens under Damascius; Simpl. in Gael, 271.19, 1363.8 (O Nuetepos Kao yEHov 462.20, in Phys. 59.23, 183.18, 192.14, "Auucovios), in Phys. 6.2.07, 774-28 (0 hpétepos KaOnyeNav Aapaoxios) and see index nominum, p. t4d2. Author of numerous commentaries on Aristotle and other philosophers. He wrote a Commentary on the Encheiridion of Epictetus (ed.

In Sept. 533, during the campaign in Africa, Viaris was in command of eight hundred onaomotat of Belisarius not far from Decimum when the foederati, fleeing from Gelimer, came up expecting him to stand and fight; instead he and his men turned tail and fled with them back to the main army under Belisarius; for this they were severely reprimanded; Proc. BV 1 19.23-4.30. For the date and further details, see Belisarius, p. 189. Later on, after the battle of Tricamarum (mid December 533), Viaris accompanied Loannes

14 in pursuit of Gelimer, but in an accident

while he was drunk he inadvertently shot Ioannes and fatally wounded him; he fled for sanctuary to a nearby church but was spared by Belisarius, following the dying request of Toannes, because it was an accident: Proc. BF uw 4.t5~19.21.25,. In summer 538 he was in Italy and was sent with Herodianus 1 and Narses 2 and a large army under the overall command of Idiger by sea to the relief of Ariminum; Proc.

HE m1 1.19 (‘sophistam et archiatrum palatii’), 6.12 (“medicus et sophista’), First attested in 567, he was evidently in the confidence of Justin IY and his successor Tiberius and was entrusted with important missions at least down to 5813 see below.

Styled a ‘sophist’; Joh. Eph. HE m 1.19, 6.12, 6.26. He was evidently well educated, as well as a capable doctor, and, to judge by his role on

various embassies to Persia and his private conversations with Mebodes {see below), may have spoken Persian (as well as, presumably, Syriac and Greek). The description of him in Mich. Syr.x 2 (cited below) as an archdeacon as well as a doctor perhaps arose from a misunderstanding

of archiatrus as archidiaconus. According to John of Ephesus (4/4 mt 1.19) he was once thought to be a monophysite (‘antea orthodoxus, ut putabatur’). In 567 he was at Callinicum when talks with the monophysites on

church union took place with Ioannes 81; it was he who delivered a copy of Justin’s edict of union to the assembled monophysite bishops and returned with their proposed amendments; Joh. Eph. HE ur 1.19, cf.

Mich. Syr. x 2 (‘il (= Ioannes) leur envoya Pédit de lempereur, par Zacharias l’archidiacre, médecin en chef’). John implies that it was he who was sent to Callinicum by the emperor with a copy of the edict; in view of his later career as envoy, it is likely that he accompanied [oannes on his mission from Constantinople to Persia and they had with them the edict of union, for presentation to the monophysites on the way Persia; see further Ioannes 81.

cf, Jones, LRE1, p. 294 with n. 60. The combination of this post with the title a secretis is surprising, suggesting that the title a secretis is here honorific, and apparently conferred the status of vir glortosissemus.
