As soon as Justinian found out that Theodora planned to dispatch the miaphysite missionary Julian to the Nobades, he wanted to send one of his own men to convert them to Chalcedonian Christianity. However, the dux of the Thebaid delayed the journey of this royal envoy to make sure that Theodora's favourite Julian would arrive first in the kingdom of the Nobades, as is attested in Joh. Eph., EH 4.6-7.
