Joh. Eph., EH 6.19, records that the Roman prisoners held in Antioch-of-Khusrow in Mesopotamia hoped to escape and to return to the Roman Empire. They managed to send two monks, Benjamin and his disciple Samuel, through the Persian lines to Constantinople to raise awareness for their situation, yet Tiberius neglected the matter.
