Luckily, the imperial party avoided the ship where assassins were waiting & reached the palace safely

Summary:
As the revolt broke out when he was at Mangana, he proceeded with the augousta Eudokia and their children to the nearby shore and, not finding any imperial ship there, embarked on a nobleman's ship which happened providentially to be available. As he was leaving, he was urged to board another ship belonging to the rebels, which would allegedly carry him more quickly to his destination, but he refused to do so. The boat on which he was travelling was harrassed, but arrived safely at the palace
