Years: 529 - 529
Al-Mundhir renews his attacks, in 529 firstly taking all the area of frontiers which was Khabour.
Afterwards, he marches towards Arzona and Nisibis, spoiling and ravaging the cities before continuing to Apamea.
Al-Mundhir is unable to conquer Antioch because Justinian has dispatched a large army to protect it.
Al-Mundhir returns with much booty, among them four hundred nuns, whom he burns in sacrifice to the goddess al-Uzza.
