Death
(8)
Andronikos was sent by
Ioannes 2
to convey the body of the dead
Alexios 103
back to the capital; after they had set sail he too died, unwilling to lose his brother, and so a corpse was conducting a corpse
κομίζεται νεκρὸς ... νεκρὸν κομίζων. Italikos 130.1-134.10
Died after a short illness following a bath and was buried in the Pantokrator
ἐκ δυοτριταίων καὶ πλευρίτιδος γεγονότος ὥς φασιν ἀπὸ τοῦ λοετροῦ. Kleinchroniken 58.2
Died before
Ioannes 2
's expedition had reached Cilicia: his body was returned to Constantinople by
Isaakios 103
δυεῖν μὲν ἀφῄρητο παίδων οἳ χρόνῳ προῆκον. Kinnamos 24.4-5
Died shortly after
Alexios 103
, so that he barely had time to mourn him
τὸ λαχὸν καὶ αὐτὸς μέρος τῆς ζωῆς ἐξετόξευσε. Niketas Choniates, Historia 38.18-19
He died while his father
Ioannes 2
was still alive
τὸ ζῆν μετήλλαξαν. Niketas Choniates, Historia 103.21-23
He followed his brother
Alexios 103
in death, as second brother, while conveying his body by sea to the capital
Niketas Choniates, Historia 49.26-28
He was one of the group of living members of the imperial family mentioned in the obituary of the Pantokrator monastery, to be given commemoration after their death (October, 1136)
Pantokrator Typikon 259
He was repatriated as a corpse (or, by the more natural interpretation of the words, in a mortal coma); the shock to his wife
Eirene 20115
was terrible
τοῦ κλάδου τῆς πορφύρας, ἀμετρίᾳ τοῦ πυρετοῦ κεκμηκότος, ὡς μηδὲ τὴν αἴσθησιν ἀρτίαν ἔχειν, ὀδοῦσιν ἤδη θανάτου βεβρωμένου. Manganeios Prodromos 91.21-29
Description
(2)
Of the three sebastokrators, he was the best, with sympathy and intelligence
ὁ βέλτιστος ... ἡ συνετὴ καρδία. Prodromos, Historische Gedichte XIII.37
He was praised for aristocratic virtues: strength as soldier and general, precise intellect, unerring bowman, swift horseman, wise speaker, compared with many mythological heroes
... ὁ πτερωτὸς ἱππότης καὶ Πηγάσου πτηνότερος .... Italikos 130.1-134.10
