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

Persians make peace with the Romans

The Chronicle of Marcellinus Comes records under the consulship of Honorius (13th) and Theodosius (10th) (AD 422; OCR 'HONORII XIII ET TIIEODOSII X') that the Persians concluded peace with the Romans.

Limits: A Latin chronicle written at Constantinople c. 518-534, used through Mommsen's 1894 edition (MGH AA 11) as Internet Archive OCR text (page images not checked); the English is an AI working translation. The entry gives no terms, place or day; under the previous year (421) the chronicle enters that the Romans fought with the Persians. The foot of the page reads 'TSR (om. a. 421. 422)', apparently noting that part of the manuscript tradition omits these years; the parallel Greek column for this year has no peace entry. The retained passage does not explicitly establish the site of the relevant act. No occurrence region is assigned.
