Hocque viso accensum, properantem congredi militem, dirimente fluvio brevi, prohibuit imperator, et non procul a vallo ipso inter excursatores nostros et Persicos, proelio acri conserto, Machameus cecidit, ductor unius agminis nostri.
Our soldiers, inflamed by this sight, since only a small stream separated them from the enemy, were in haste to attack them, but the emperor restrained them; however, a fierce fight took place not far from our very rampart between our outposts and those of the Persians, in which Machameus, general of one of our battalions, fell.
