Illus and Leontius are both Chalcedonians and thus gain the backing of Callandion, Patriarch of Antioch, but otherwise have little support.

Also some pagans support the revolt, among whom is the poet, philosopher, and soothsayer Pamprepius.

Zeno's army, composed of Roman and Ostrogothic troops under the command of Theodoric the Amal and John the Scythian, defeats the rebel army near Antioch on August 8.

Illus and Leontius are forced to take refuge inside the fortress of Papurius, where the insurgents will hold out for four years.
