Antes de alejarse, manda un mensaje de despedida a los defensores de la ciudad para avisarlos de su dolorosa decisión y recomendarles que actúen «conforme a sus intereses». El significado de estas palabras es claro, tanto para la guarnición turca como para la población griega: hay que entregar la ciudad a Alejo Comneno y no a sus auxiliares francos. Se entablan, pues, negociaciones con el basileus que, a la cabeza de sus tropas, ha tomado posiciones al oeste de Nicea. Los hombres del sultán intentan ganar tiempo, esperando sin duda que su señor pueda volver con refuerzos.
Kiliy Arslan no está lejos, ha pasado la noche en las colinas próximas a Civitot y sus hombres se mantienen bien ocultos. Desde donde está, puede ver personalmente a lo lejos la columna de los frany que va levantando una nube de polvo. Varios cientos de caballeros, la mayoría sin armadura, avanzan en cabeza, seguidos de una multitud de soldados de infantería en desorden. Llevan caminando menos de una hora cuando el sultán oye acercarse su clamor. El sol, despuntando a su espalda, les da de lleno en el rostro.
Será el historiador Ibn al-Atir quien cuente los acontecimientos más de un siglo después del comienzo de la invasión franca, basándose en los testimonios dejados por los contemporáneos: Š ŠŠŠEl primer día, Yaghi Siyan ordenó a los musulmanes que salieran a limpiar los fosos que rodean la ciudad. Al día siguiente, para efectuar el mismo trabajo, envió sólo a los cristianos. » Protegió efectivamente a las familias de los expulsados y no permitió que se les tocara ni un pelo de la cabeza. Š ŠŠŠEn este mes de octubre de 1097, el viejo Yaghi Siyan, servidor desde hace cuarenta años de los sultanes selyúcidas, vive obsesionado con la traición.
