Appian, The Mithridatic Wars 18
Appian of Alexandria (c.95-c.165): one of the most underestimated of all Greek historians, author of a Roman History in twenty-four books.
Although only his books on the Roman Civil Wars survive in their entirety, large parts of other books have also come down to us. Fortunately, the Mithridatic Wars, about Rome's struggle with the kingdom of Pontus, belong to these better preserved parts. They are a very valuable source for the history of the Roman expansion in what is now called Turkey.

Third Mithridatic War (cont'd)
[86] When Mancaeus beheld this defeat from Tigranocerta, he disarmed all of his Greek mercenaries because he suspected them.
