After Zeno confiscated Illus's property and declared him a public enemy over a dispute involving Zeno's brother, Illus defected to a rebel in Syria who was trying to restore paganism, declared the rebel leader emperor, and set up a rival court. Theodoric was sent to suppress them, ejecting Illus from Antioch and finally taking the Isaurian fortress by a ruse — Zeno's sister-in-law was sent inside with a promise of pardon, then opened the gates at night.
