Placed in AD 497 by a source

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

Isaurian war recorded as settled

The Chronicle of Marcellinus Comes records under the second sole consulship of Anastasius Augustus (AD 497) that the Isaurian war was settled in its sixth year.

Limits: This Latin chronicle was written at Constantinople c. 518–534 and is used through Mommsen's 1894 edition as OCR text, without checking page images; the English is an AI working translation. OCR 'BeUumque' is read as Bellumque; the apparatus records omission of the heading's second-consulship numeral in some witnesses, while the year follows the supplied heading index. The retained passage does not explicitly establish the site of the relevant act. No occurrence region is assigned.
