Note 114 — Chapter IX · THE EUPHRATES FRONTIER AND THE PARTHIANS. (continued 2)

By mistake Eutropius, ix. 13, places the decisive battle haud longe ab Antiochia: the mistake is heightened in Rufius, c. 24 (on whom Hieronymus, chron. a. Abr. 2289 depends), and in Syncellus, p. 721, by the addition apud Immas, ἐν Ἴμμαις, which place, lying 33 Roman miles from Antioch on the road to Chalcis, is far away from Hemesa. The two chief accounts, in Zosimus and the biographer of Aurelian, agree in all essentials.
