1 Dr Athanassios Angelou has drawn my attention to Nicephorus, Breviarum 52.27 ff., where a group of citizens of Pergamum, before going out to meet the besieging Arabs in 717, are said to have killed a pregnant girl, boiled her foetus in a cauldron, and dipped their Χειρίδεα (gloves or sleeves?) in the liquid. The result was that their arms became paralysed and the Arabs captured the city without a battle.
