Yusuf has received information that Armenian ruler Ashot II had retired on the island of Sevan, and ends a chief, Nusir, to capture him.

Nusir marches to Dvin, and takes several captives.

Nusir is succeeded by Beshir, who sends one thousand of his men to attack the island and capture the king.

Beshir is met by George the Marzbedunian, who, with his small army, attacks and kills many of the invaders, causing the rest to flee.

Beshir gathers reinforcements and goes after George, but fails to capture him.

He then approaches Lake Sevan, where Ashot has prepared ten boats, placing skilled archers in the bows.

Beshir's army ultimately flees in defeat.
