King Gubazes II revolts against the Persians …
Years: 548 - 548
King Gubazes II revolts against the Persians and requests for aid from Justinian I.
He sends an expeditionary force of eight thousand men under Dagisthaeus, who together with a Lazic force lays siege to the Persian garrison at Petra.
As the Persians are well provisioned, the siege drags on.
Dagisthaeus has neglected to keep watch over the mountain passes that led into Lazica, and a far larger Persian relief force under Mihr-Mihroe arrives and raises the siege, yet the Persians lack sufficient supplies.
Mihr-Mihroe departs after strengthening the garrison at Petra and leaving a further five thousand men under Phabrizus to secure its supply routes.
