Claim: Boraides, a cousin of the Byzantine emperor Germanus, was responsible for capturing Hypatius on the last day of the Nika riots, dragging Him down from the throne, handing him over together with Pompeius to the emperor.
Evidence: Boraides (Greek: Βοραΐδης, d. 548) was a cousin of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I (r. 527–565), better known for his role in ending the Nika riots of 532. 
Boraides was a brother of Germanus and Justus. They were reportedly cousins of Justinian I, though the exact relation is uncertain.
