Ἐπὶ δὲ τῆς πρὸ ταύτης ἡγεμονίας, Μαρδονίου μηνύσαντος, ὃς τῆς βασιλικῆς οἰκίας μείζων ἦν εὐνοῦχος, προσέταξεν Οὐάλης εἰς Κωνσταντινούπολιν αὐτὴν κομισθῆναι. Καὶ οἱ μὲν ἐπὶ τοῦτο ἀποσταλέντες, ἐπιθέντες ὀχήματι δημοσίῳ ἦγον. Ὡς δὲ εἰς τὸ Παντείχιον ἧκον, χωρίον δὲ τοῦτο Χαλκηδόνος, οὐκέτι προσωτέρω βαδίζειν ἠνείχοντο αἱ τὸ ὄχημα καθέλκουσαι ἡμίονοι: καὶ ταῦτα τῶν ἱπποκόμων ἐπαπειλούντων, καὶ τοῦ ἡνιόχου χαλεπῶς τῇ μάστιγι κεντοῦντος.
