Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Magnus Maximus killed near Aquileia

The Latin consular notice reports that Magnus Maximus was killed at the third milestone from Aquileia in AD 388.

Limits: The derived entry reproduces line 855. Mommsen’s parallel edition of the same chronicle is not independent corroboration; its Latin text reads ab Aquileia against the transcription’s de Aquileia. Neighbouring Greek columns and apparatus sigla are separate from that Latin notice; OCR corruptions are not secure textual variants. Marcellinus separately places the defeat of Maximus and Victor apud Aquileiam under 388, but supplies neither the third milestone nor an explicit killing in that sentence; the following notice mentions Maximus’s death. Its apparatus records aquilegiam in witness S.
