Tornikios wuxuu u diray ciidan, oo uu hoggaaminayo Leo Passianos, oo ka dhan ah isbahaysiga Lombard-Norman. Passianos iyo Melus waxay ku kulmeen Fortore ee Arenula; dagaalka ayaa ahaa mid aan go'aan lahayn (William of Apulia) ama guul u ah Melus (Leo of Ostia iyo Amatus). Torniki ayaa markaa qaatay amar, isagoo hogaaminaya ciidamadiisa kulanka labaad ee u dhow Hanita.
