The follow-up battle to Bapheus as Osman I sought to tighten his grip on Bithynia. Very little information seems to be available for this battle. I have not been able to find out the name of the Byzantine commander yet, for example. I do know that the Byzantine army was made up of several local garrisons and that the fighting took place in a mountain pass. I have assumed that the Osmanli army was very similar to that which fought at Bapheus. There has been no mention of Alan auxiliaries fighting with the Byzantines either.
