Manuel the Roman

منويل الرومي

Manuel the Roman, the eunuch; Constantine son of Heraclius sent him with three hundred ships laden with fighters — he entered Alexandria in year 25, or 23 by another report, slaying the Muslim ribat there save those who escaped; Amr ibn al-As marched on him with fifteen thousand, routed them back into the city where they set up the arrada-engines, then planted mangonels till they took the walls and entered by the sword — and Manuel was killed.
