Tigrānī deinde Pompēius bellum intulit. Ille sē eī dēdidit et in castra Pompeiī sextō decimō mīliāriō ab Artaxatā vēnit ac diadēma suum, cum prōcubuisset ad genua Pompeiī, in manibus ipsīus collocāvit. Quod eī Pompēius reposuit honorificēque eum habitum rēgnī tamen parte multāvit et grandī pecūniā. Adēmpta est eī Syria, Phoenīcē, Sophanēnē, sex mīlia praetereā talentōrum argentī, quae populō Rōmānō daret, quia bellum sine causā Rōmānīs commōvisset.
