Hi, I agree with you that it was a big call by Littleton and Malcor to associate Iazyges with Arthur. I obviously have too much spare time and I was reading "The Cambridge Rome series and was wondering why Marcus Aurelius still had trouble with Iazyges after signing surrender of Iazyges as it said maybe one of the conditions for Iazyges co-operation was that Rome defeat Quadi before they would hand over bulk of troops because Iazyges feared the Quadi just as much as the Romans. In hindsight it probably wasn't a good idea for Marcus to agree to let Iazyges resume contact with Roxolani as a lot of Roxolani moved into Hungary after that filling vacuum left with departure of 8000 Iazyges horsemen.
