	Leontios Makhairas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leontios Makhairas (in Greek: Λεόντιος Μαχαιράς) was a medieval Greek Cypriot historian.
		Makhairas was orthodox Christian but wrote with respect for the pope and the Catholic ruling class of Cyprus for who he was working.
		The chronicle was published again by Richard M. Dawkins with an English translation as "Recital Concerning the Sweet Land of Cyprus Entitled 'Chronicle'-- The chronicle of Makhairas" in Oxford in 1932.

		A similar exposition of the divine plan supports the structure for narrative in Romanos and Leontios in liturgy and Malalas in history.
		It is expressed especially clearly in the dramatic narrative sections of Leontios’ Homilies, throughout stories expounded in the Kontakia of Romanos and undergirds narrative structure in Malalas.
		These participles, in their levelled medieval form, with other temporals and dates, are great stitchers of narration; they abridge information as much as they accommodate for both the flow of the narrative and the writer’s communicative skills.

		The next day the army continued to Khirokitia where there was a Commandery (a small stronghold of the knights of St John) which became the headquarters for the battle with the advancing Saracens which took place on 7th July on the “plain of Khirokitia”.
		A vivid eye-witness account of the battle is found in the famous Medieval Chronicle of Leontios Makhairas, for the chronicler was present, as “the king had put me in charge of the wine”.
		The rather disorganised Cypriot forces camped around the Commandery, taking up so much space that the herald needed half a day to go around announcing any new order.
