There is a description of another smallish scale victory of Romans over Persian cataphracts in the reign of Constantius II, in a panegyric on the sons of Constantine in Lieu, S.N.C and Montserrat, D. (Ed.s) (1996), From Constantine to Julian, London. ISBN 0-415-09336-8
It is a similarly scrappy affair with Roman infantry coming off best against Persian clibs backed up by fortifications, a river and light infantry posted on flanking heights. There is also a very good description of the heavy armour of the Persian cavalry. It might give some additional background.
