# Talk:Battle of Bathys Ryax

The article states: "At the ensuing engagement, [Chrysocheir] was mortally wounded by Poulades, a Byzantine soldier who had been formerly a captive of the Paulicians. He was then captured and beheaded."  Hunh?  One is mortally wounded if one later dies of that wound, but here, he (apparently) died of the beheading.  Was the first wound only serious, not mortal?  Would it have been mortal had he been allowed to live a little longer?  Did he die of the first wound, and then the Byzantines beheaded the corpse?  This needs clarification.

Well, he was wounded in the armpits, and thrown from his horse. From what I can make out from the original sources, he is described as "dying". Anyhow, I will rephrase this. Nice catch! Constantine   ✍  13:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
