Comment

According to K. Kekelidze, the text about Ivbimianos has been taken out from semi-historic – semi-fictional “Julian’s Novel”, which was written in the VI century in Assyrian and later it became very popular among Arabian historians and it seems it also existed during the classical period of our literature.
