ABSTRACT
Khusro’s response to the Roman invasion was two-fold. He led an army up the Euphrates, which divided near Circesium. While he continued northwards, up the Khabur, ready to drive off the Romans from Nisibis and strike at Dara, a detachment under Adarmahan continued up the Euphrates into Euphratesia and Syria.61 See Stein 1919: 44, Downey 1961: 561-2, Whitby 1988: 257.
