Placed in AD 614 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

Persian capture of Jerusalem

The Chronicon Paschale places the Persian capture of Jerusalem around June in its fourth regnal year of Heraclius.

Limits: Dindorf’s Greek text, pp. 704–705. The month is approximate; no capture day is supplied. The supplied transcription’s Latin heading reads 644, contrary to the surrounding Roman dating sequences; it cannot establish the AD year. The parallel Latin narrative likewise says approximately June. The B in the retained XML is a marginal column mark and is excluded from the translation.
