Placed in AD 602 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

Phocas enters Constantinople

The Chronicon Paschale reports that Phocas entered Constantinople on Sunday, 25 November.

Limits: Dindorf’s Greek narrative specifies entry from the Hebdomon through the Golden Gate. The parallel Latin belongs to the same edition and is not independent corroboration. The nearby coronation passage has conflicting weekday numerals in Greek and Latin; this record concerns the separately dated entry.
