Hinc recedentibus nobis, longius Saraceni secuti sunt et nostrorum metu peditum repedare compulsi, paulo post innexi Persarum multitudini tutius irruebant, Romana impedimenta rapturi, verum viso imperatore, ad alas subsidiarias reverterunt.
As we withdrew from the spot, the Saracens followed us for some distance but were forced to retreat through fear of our infantry; a little later they joined with the main body of the Persians and attacked with greater safety, hoping to carry off the Romans baggage; but on seeing the emperor they returned to the cavalry held in reserve.
