Routledge, 2005, S. 71 "[...]The result was a gap of about 5 kilometres between the vanguard, consisting of the armies of Bohemond, Robert of Normandy and Stephen of Blois about 20,000 strong, and the main force of about 30,000. They were aware of that Kılıç Arslan was about: he had returned to the fray after the defeat of Nicaea, with an army of 6,000-7,000 mounted man, including his new allies, the Danishmend Turks."

Helicon Publishing, 1998, S. 103 "Following their successful siege of Nicaea in 1097, the crusaders split into two columns to aid foraging. The vanguard under Bohemond was attacked at Bozüyük. Sultan Kilij Arslan led 7,000-8,000 Seljuk mounted archers in an ambush, throwing the crusaders into confusion."
