Ἐπὶ Ἰουστινιανοῦ τοῦ βασιλέως σὺν Οὔννοις ἑπτακισχιλίοις διαβὰς τὸν Ἴστρον Ζαβεργὰν ἐγγὺς τῆς βασιλίδος ἔφθασε λεηλατῶν τὰ μεταξὺ, ἄτε μὴ στρατιᾶς που φρουρούσης· ἐπὶ μὲν γὰρ τῶν πρὸ εὐτοῦ βασιλέων [εἰς] ἑξακοσίας καὶ τεσσαράκοντα πέντε χιλιάδας μαχίμνω ἀνδρῶν ὁ τῶν Ῥωμαίων ἐκορυφοῦτο στρατός· Ἰουστινιανὸς δὲ μόλις εἰς ἑκατὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα περιέστησεν. Ὥστε μηδὲ δύνασθαι ἐξαρκεῖν ἐν τῇ Λαζικῇ καὶ Ἀρμενίᾳ καὶ Λιβύῃ καὶ Γότθοις καὶ Ἰταλίᾳ.
