February 82 BC: After this raid, Murena was able to return undisturbed to Phrygia and Galatia laden with booty.
January 82 BC: Mithridates thus decided to send an embassy to the Senate and to Silla, complaining about Murena's actions. Meanwhile the latter had crossed the Halys river.
January 81 BC: Although Calidio did not have a decree from the Senate with him, he invited him not to harass the king of Pontus anymore, to avoid that this had the meaning of breaking the existing treaty. Murena, however, again invaded the territories of Mithridates, who, this time believed that the war had been so ordered by the Roman Senate itself.
February 81 BC: Mithridates defeats Murena in battle.
February 81 BC: Murena expelled out of Cappadocia.
January 80 BC: Sulla, believing that it was not right to wage war against Mithridates, since he had not violated any treaty, sent a new embassy to Murena, this time led by Aulus Gabinius, forbidding him to resume any kind of hostility, on the contrary to reconcile Mithridates with the king Ariobarzanes I.
