Areobindus Dagalaifus Areobindus

[6] In his consular diptychs, Areobindus is listed as having occupied the post of comes sacri stabuli (count of the imperial stable), and as having been accorded the title of an honorary consul.

[7][9] In the summer of 504, Areobindus launched a major raid into Arzanene, meeting little opposition and laying waste to large swaths of land before returning to Amida.

With the Roman positions stabilized and the war now being carried over into Persian territory, Kavadh agreed to a truce and hostilities ceased in the winter.

[7] He was living in retirement at Constantinople in 512, at a time when the open advocation of miaphysite doctrines by Emperor Anastasius had caused great anger among the city's mostly Chalcedonian population.

[7] At one point, according to the chroniclers, the populace took up the cry "Areobindus for emperor" and marched to the house of his wife, Anicia Juliana, to proclaim him.
