  Joannes Zonaras - LoveToKnow 1911
JOANNES ZONARAS Byzantine chronicler and theologian, flourished at Constantinople in the 12th century.
Under Alexius I. Comnenus he held the offices of commander of the bodyguard and private secretary to the emperor, but in the succeeding reign he retired to Hagia Glykeria (one of the Princes' Islands), where he spent the rest of his life in writing books.
Various ecclesiastical works have been attributed to Zonaras - commentaries on the Fathers and the poems of Gregory of Nazianzus; lives of Saints; and a treatise on the Apostolical Canons - and there is no reason to doubt their genuineness.

 Medieval Greek Literature
It is no accident that military characters like Nicephorus Bryennius (eleventh and twelfth centuries) and Joannes Cinnamus (twelfth century) emulated Xenophon in the precision of their diction, or that a philosopher like Nicephorus Gregoras (thirteenth century) took Plato as his model.
Representative Byzantine chronicles are the three of Joannes Malalas, Theophanes Confessor, and Joannes Zonaras, respectively.
A third guide-post in the history of Byzantine chronicles is the twelfth-century Universal Chronicle of Zonaras.

Joannes was a ''primicerius notariorum'' or senior civil servant at the time of his elevation.
Joannes had hoped that he could come to an agreement with the emperor Theodosius, but when Theodosius elevated the young Valentinian III first to Caesar, then to co-emperor as an Augustus (undoubtedly influenced by Valentinian's mother Galla Placidia), he knew he could only expect war.

That he omitted many statements of considerable importance, and which certainly ought to have been preserved even in an abridgment, is evident from Zonaras, who has preserved many passages of Dion Cassius which are omitted by Xiphilinus.

Zosimus in the 5th century and Joannes Zonaras in the 12th century both reported that Fausta, step-mother of Crispus, was extremely jealous of him.
So while the story of Zosimus and Zonaras seems the most believable one, there are also problems relating to their version of events.
The story of Zosimus and Zonaras listed above is suspiciously similar to the legend of Hippolytus of Athens.

Other fragments from Dio belonging chiefly to the first thirty-five books were found by Mai in two Vatican MSS., which contain a collection made by Maximus Planudes.
The annals of Joannes Zonaras also contain numerous extracts from Dio.
Dio has taken Thucydides for his model, but the imitator is not comparable with his original either in arrangement and the distribution of materials or in soundness of view and accurate reasoning.

Basing herself primarily upon the Armenian sources, Marie Louise Chaumont suggested that the pretext for ˆa@pur's offensive against Rome could be related to the asylum it granted to the young, fugitive, prince Tirda@d, son of the Arsacid king of Armenia, K¨osrow, who appears to have been assassinated at ˆa@pur's instigation prior to the Persian invasion.
Kettenhofen, who, after a close scrutiny of the Armenian and classical sources, proposed the year 217 as the beginning of Tirda@d's reign, thereby surmising that Tirda@d was, at the time of the Persian invasion of Armenia in 252 c.e., a mature sovereign with a history of 35 years of rule.
It is generally agreed that Armenia was annexed in 252 C.E., during the reign of Trebonianus Gallus and the coregency of Volusianus according to Zonaras (Annales 12.21; Chaumont, 1976, p.

Proba's poem should therefore not be understood as a panegyric on Constantius II; it is probably written only after his death (so Bl., disagreeing with the view of Herzog in HLL 5, SS 562).
shows that the representations of the battle in Zosimus (2,45 - 53) and Joannes Zonaras (13,8,5 - 18) both stem from the same source, where Constantius has been depicted in a better light than his rival.
The favourable portrait must have been reversed by Eunapius before Zonaras picked it up and showed Constantius in the same negative light as Eunapius had.

Joannes Zonaras, a twelfth-century Byzantine writer, who distinguishes himself in using old reliable sources, mentions Symeon's defeat in Croatia and, a little later, his death caused by a heart attack.
Georgius Cedrenus and Joannes Zonaras were exceptional experts in Byzantine sources of earlier data
When they write that the Croats defeated the Bulgarians in May 927 and that Symeon, hearing that, died of a broken, heart, it means that this fact was so stated in the best Byzantine works contemporary to the event.

Persumably Constantine's own remorse would not allow for him to have people of his enviroment talking about Crispus and reminding him of his cruelty to his innocent first-born.
Another problem related to Zosimus and Zonaras both is their lack of reference to earlier sources.
History continues to remember these sad events but the facts which caused them will likely remain a secret of an ever more distant past.

 DIO CASSIUS
The work originally consisted of eighty books, beginning with the arrival of Aeneas in Rome and ending in the year 229 C.E. Only books 36-60 have been completely preserved; they contain the history of the years 68 B.C.E. to 47 C.E., a critical period in Roman relations with the Parthians.
For the subsequent years only extracts from an 11th-century epitome prepared by the Byzantine Joannes Xiphilinus survive (Ziegler, 1964, pp.
73 ff.); books 1-35 were already missing from the manuscript consulted by Xiphilinus, but in the following century they were known to another Byzantine historian, Joannes Zonaras, who drew upon them for books 7-12 of his Chronicle (von Gutschmid, pp.

Family influence is thought to account for a personal adoption of Christianity: Helena is said to be "probably born a Christian" though virtually nothing is known of her background, save that her mother was the daughter of an innkeeper and her father a successful soldier, a career that excluded overt Christians.
