Cont. IV 25 (p. 183), Zon. XVI 3. 24-27 (he had left the army to go plundering when news of the defeat reached him; ὁ δὲ τούτου, sc. Amr 2, υἱὸς ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου ἀπών (εἰς γὰρ λείαν ἐτύγχανεν ἀποδεδημηκώς) τὴν ἧτταν καὶ τὴν φθορὰν μαθὼν τοῦ πατρὸς ἀπεδίδρασκεν, ἀλλὰ καὶ οὗτος ἐν τῷ δρασμῷ συλληφθεὶς παρεδόθη τῷ στρατηγῷ). Cf. Anonymus 642.
