He wrote a Xpovo'ypacga in 18 books, the beginning and the end of which are lost

In its See also:present See also:state it begins with the mythical See also:history of See also:Egypt and ends with the expedition to See also:Africa under See also:Marcianus, the See also:nephew of Justinian
.
Except for the history of Justinian and his immediate predecessors, it possesses little See also:historical value; it is written without any See also:idea of proportion and contains astonishing blunders

- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

The See also:work is rather a See also:chronicle written See also:round Antioch, which he regarded as the centre of the See also:world, and (in the later books) round See also:Constantinople
.
It is, however, important as the first specimen of a chronicle written not for the learned but for the instruction of the monks and the See also:common See also:people, in the See also:language of the vulgar, with an admixture of Latin and See also:Oriental words
.
It obtained See also:great popularity, and was conscientiously exploited by various writers until the filth See also:century, being translated even into the See also:Slavonic See also:languages
