The Arab commander Sulayman 5 joined Elpidios 2 with a large army and they invaded the lands around Samisum, but were caught by severe winter weather and sustained heavy losses; they took refuge among the Romans and were well treated, leaving in January, many of them with severe frostbite: Bar Hebr., p. 119. The date was after the flight of Elpidios 2 to the Arabs.
