Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on March 4, 2010.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that at the Battle of Bathys Ryax, the Byzantines attacked with only 600 men out of an army of 4,000–5,000, leaving the rest to raise much noise so as to simulate the arrival of a far larger force?

Mortally wounded?

[edit]

The article states: "At the ensuing engagement, [Chrysocheir] was mortally wounded by Poulades, a Byzantine soldier who had been formerly a captive of the Paulicians. He was then captured and beheaded." Hunh? One is mortally wounded if one later dies of that wound, but here, he (apparently) died of the beheading. Was the first wound only serious, not mortal? Would it have been mortal had he been allowed to live a little longer? Did he die of the first wound, and then the Byzantines beheaded the corpse? This needs clarification. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 13:14, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, he was wounded in the armpits, and thrown from his horse. From what I can make out from the original sources, he is described as "dying". Anyhow, I will rephrase this. Nice catch! Constantine ✍ 13:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
