Battle of Mammes

[2] Solomon anticipated the trap and sent men to the side of the circle not facing the mountains.

[2] Solomon then decided to attack the other side of the circle, predicting it to be weakened to such an extent that the hidden cavalry could not spring into action in time.

[2] Solomon’s prediction was correct, the Byzantines quickly broke through.

[2] They killed hundreds of camels, enslaved the Moor women and children and according to Procopius slew 10,000 men.

[2][5] The situation was not yet stabilized and the Moors soon returned but were decisively defeated at Mount Burgaon.
