A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Geo'rgius PISIDA (search)

This work is mentioned by Suidas, and is probably the earliest of the extant works of this writer. The three books are written in trimeter iamnbics, and contain 1098 verses. They describe the first expedition of Heraelius, whose valour and piety are immoderately praised, against the Persians, A. D. 622, when he attacked the frontier of Persia, in the neighbourhood of the Taurus. The descriptions of the author lead us to regard him as an eye-witness; and the poem was probably written not long after the events he records. 2. *Po/lemos *)Abariko/s, or *)Abarika/, Bellum Avaricum, or Avarica More fully, *Ei)s th\n genome/nhn e)/fodon tw=n *Barbarw=n kai\ ei)s th\n au)rw=n a)stuxi/an h)/toi e)/kqesis tou= yenome/nou pole/mou ei)s to\ tei=xos th=s *Kwnstantinoupo/lews metacu\ *)Aba/rwn kai\
