 S. Vryonis - The Evolution of Slavic Society and the Slavic Invasions in Greece
Theophylactus pauses at this point in his narrative to inform the reader that he is going to give extra details on this particular siege before going on to his regular discourse, for in his eyes the history of the siege of this fortress is important.

The text of Theophylactus is replete with incidents reflecting the skills of the Slavs in riverine navigation and warfare.

 Œcumenius
Manuscripts of the eleventh century contain commentaries on the Acts and on the Catholic and Pauline epistles, attributed since the sixteenth century to Œcumenius.

The first manuscripts, however, are older than Theophylactus, so that it cannot be merely a false attribution of his work.
