of the Romans. But the emperor, not being able to campaign himself since he was bedridden, sends out an army whose commander was Eustathios Kamytzes, who indeed attacked the Turks, is taken captive and loses the army. Therefore the emperor no longer tolerates it, but he arrives there and disperses the Turks like smoke. And those holding Kamytzes come over to the emperor with him as deserters. After these things the ruler of the Turks makes a truce with the emperor, and each one departs for home. But when after this the effects of the disease increased, by the common opinion of the physicians he receives a fiery iron on his stomach. And since the air in the palace did not seem temperate, as it was rather damp, he has been brought to the palace of the Manganes, with fate, 625 as it seems, dragging him down; for they say "he will fall among the pain-relieving things" was written about him, those who are skilled in such matters. Therefore he dies there, having left as successor to the empire his son John Komnenos.
