==Raid on Ardagast== Ardagast, a commander of Musokios, was sent and raided Thrace, which prompted Emperor Maurice to deal with the Sclaveni - sending an army with commander-in-chief Priscus and infantry commander Gentzon to cross the Danube at Dorostolon (present-day Silistra) and surprise attack the Slavs in their own territory (as the Slavs had long been pillaging the Byzantine Empire).
