Text aus der Chronik von Johannes Skylitzes : "... Als Bardas die Männer mit gezücktem Schwert andrängen sah, da wußte er sofort, daß er dem Tode geweiht sei. Er warf sich dem Kaiser zu Füßen, aber man zog ihn von dort weg und zerhackte ihn buchstäblich. Darauf befestigten sie seine Geschlechtsteile an einer Stange und führten sie offen vor. ..."
