To reach safety, Manuel still had to fight a Turcoman tribe in the Maiander valley

Summary:
Manuel I recognised the leader of a Turkish band as Raman, and joined in pursuing them unarmed, encouraging others, though it seemed fruitless. When his horse was exhausted he took that of his cousin Andronikos (who was to wait for the fast imperial remount) and attacked successfully alone, with borrowed weapons. When Andronikos' remount arrived, he attacked quite well without armour, and Manuel could not persuade him to stop: but all he really achieved was to round up the horses of those killed by the emperor. When out of enemy territory near the mouth of the Maiander, Manuel went hunting but came on Turkish raiders with booty, recognising they were from Raman's band; he watched them from above as they exhausted Byzantine pursuers
