Qui ubi Dadastanam tetigit, in qua statione perisse diximus Iovianum, Hyperechium, sibi oppositum, repente vidit cum copiis, antehac cellae castrensis apparitorem, id est ventris ministrum et gutturis, cui ut amico Procopius auxilia ductanda commisit. Et dedignatus hominem superare certamine despicabilem, auctoritatis et celsi fiducia corporis, ipsis hostibus iussit, suum vincire rectorem: atque ita turmarum antesignanus umbratilis comprensus suorum est manibus.
