 The link between Armatus, Odoacer and Onoulphus is a fragment by John of Antioch, in which Onoulphus is stated to be the murderer and the brother of Armatus.Before the work of Krautschick, and also according to other scholars, the reading was emended to read that "Odoacer was the brother of the Onoulphus who killed Armatus".This amendment made the fragment of John compatible with the accounts of other historians, since neither John Malalas nor Malchus make any reference to the fact that Armatus was killed by his own brother, and no reference is made to a blood relationship between Odoacer and Basiliscus.
