Angered at this response, Justinian quickly concluded his ongoing war with Iran and prepared an expedition against the Vandals in 533.[5] Once Gelimer learned of the arrival of the Roman army, he had Hilderic murdered, along with Euagees and other supporters of Hilderic he had imprisoned.[6]

O sobrinho do rei, é mencionado no epitáfio de sua filha por não estar presente no momento de sua morte, mas é celebrado como herói pois, estava defendendo as fronteiras do Reino, provavelmente contra os mouros, no momento em que recebeu a mensagem sobre o estado de sua filha.”

The king's nephew is mentioned in his daughter's epitaph for not being present at the time of her death, but he is celebrated as a hero because he was defending the borders of the Kingdom, probably against the Moors, when he received the message about the daughter's condition.
