Chronicle of 378

Title(s):
  • Chronicle of 378
Period covered:
350-378
Language:
Greek
State of Preservation:
Hypothetical
Genre:
  • Chronicle (chronica)
Remarks:
The chronographical indications in Socrates of Constantinople for the years 350-378 can be attributed to a chronicle that may have been a source for Jerome and the Paschal chronicle. Alternatively, the information derives from a single Constantinopolitan chronicle (Geppert 1898). Becker e.a. (2016) attribute some of the material to a single consularia in Socrates running until the end of his history.
