Pharas the Herulian

Pharas the Herulian (also known as "Varus") was a sixth-century commander of Herulian forces loyal to the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium), who figures briefly in Procopius’ narrative of Justinian's wars.

Edward Gibbon notes, in his History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, that Pharas was an officer noted for his "truth and sobriety".
