And elsewhere: "having again disarmed the Isombroi he sent them away bound with chains into Romania".1

Greek original · Adler’s text

Παροπλίσας· τετρακισχιλίους παροπλίσας γεωργεῖν ἐπέταξε, χώραν ἀποδοὺς αὐτοῖς. ἀντὶ τοῦ τὰ ὅπλα ἀφελόμενος. καὶ αὖθις· τοὺς Ἰσόμβρους πάλιν παροπλίσας ἀλύσει δεδεμένους εἰς Ῥωμανίαν ἀπέστειλεν.

Notes (1)

  1. Neither of these quotations (transmitted, in Adler's view, via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti) is identifiable.
  2. 1The 'Isombroi' (here only) are better known as the Gallic Insubres of Lombardy, N. Italy. (Polybius, Strabo and Cassius Dio call them 'Insoubroi'.) ↩
