Romanos camped for a few days at Anthiai, then crossed the Taurus and the Euphrates again and reached Keltzene, where the army pitched their camp. After a few days he received news that Brachamios' men, when the enemy appeared before them, had panicked and abandoned the places they were to guard. The enemy followed them as they turned to flight and took all their baggage. Romanos was saddened at this news, expecting an enemy attack, but his reputation overawed the Turks and prevented it. He awaited the arrival in the camp at Keltzene of those who survived the Turkish attack, fearing that, being dispersed, they might be killed by the Armenians. When they arrived, he put on trial the army and its general Philaretos, without punishing anyone. This setback, following other varied experiences at the hands of the Turks, did not end Philaretos' ambitions as a general. Attaleiates concluded that only the emperor could unite the Romans in battle
