I rinforzi spediti dall'Imperatore bizantino Eraclio I furono intercettati e messi in rotta al Passo dell'Aquila.Leone Caetani parla però di Thaniyya Ǧilliq (= Ǧillin), un luogo «non... lontano dal punto dove due anni dopo i Greci concentrarono di nuovo le loro schiere prima del disastro finale sul Yarmūk», ma Balādhurī parla espressamente di "Thaniyyat al-ʿUqāb", (it)
