“A cousin of Justin II and son of Germanus, Justinian served as magister militum in the war against Persia from c.572 to 577, inflicting a heavy defeat on Khosrow in the battle of Melitene in 576. After a series of defeats, he was dismissed in 577. The date of his death is unknown, but western sources claim that he unsuccessfully plotted against Tiberius after 578. He is repeatedly mentioned as Roman commander in Joh. Eph., EH 6.4, 6.8, and 6.13.” 3
