description |
At least three fragments places in Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos‘
narrative of the Avar wars have no parallels either in Theophylakt Simokatta
or in Theophanes. The nature of the evidence cited in these passages cannot

century, had at his disposal a source on the 6th century which has not come
down to us. |
