Notes: | Translated from Ms. Add. 17202 in the British Museum. Although this chronicle has been attributed to Zachariah (Zacharias) of Mitylene, "it is clear that the work of Zachariah ended in 491, and that he was only one of the authorities used by the compiler of the work before us, who followed him in bks. 3-6 only".--Introd. Chiefly ecclesiastical history from the Synod of Constantinople, 448 to the capture of Rome, 536. Fragments at the end bring the ecclesiastical and secular history down to 556.
