The hereby article deals with the dependence relation between the  Chronicle by George the Monk and eodore Lector’s Ecclesiastical History. As our analysis has demonstrated, George the Monk makes ample use of the material from eodore’s History, either through the Epitome or through some unidentified abridgement of eophanes’ Chronography. In his treatment of the Epitome material, George the Monk frequently copies it literally, slightly adapting it to fit in with the composition of his Chronicle. e author also draws on the Epitome of John Diacrinomenos’ work, from which he quotes fairly accurately. It is best to approach with caution Carl de Boor’s proposition to ascribe two passages (annotated as E 397 and E 441 in Hansen’s edition) to the Epitome, but it is fair to suggest that another passage from George the Monk’s Chronicle, concerning the emperor eodosius and an unidentified hermit (607, 13–608, 9), should be associated with the Theodoran tradition.

The article is concerned with proposing a new view of the corpus of Theodore Lector’s material. The author argues that the “dualistic” division of the entire body of the legacy material, as performed by Günther Christian Hansen, is not precise and may lead to a number of interpretation difficulties. The present article propounds that the Corpus Ttheodorianum be divided into the following sections: E (Greek and Latin epitomes), F (fragmenta), T (the remainingtradition), and, in addition, D (dubia), the latter part comprising the texts whose relation to Theodore’s Church History is uncertain or controversial.

Dziecko na tronie. Panowanie Leona II, cesarza w latach 473–474

A Child on the Throne. The Reign of the Emperor Leo II, AD 473–474Leo II was the son of Zeno and Ariadna, daughter of the emperor Leo I, who reigned in the years AD 457–474. In accordance with historical tradition, it is assumed that he was born around the year 467, and took over the imperial power in 474. During the same year he elevated his father Zeno to Augustus, and subsequently, after a period of joint rule which lasted several months, Leo II died. This article is an attempt to sort out the scarce and frequently mutually contradictory historical accounts, and to modify the chronology on Leo II recently proposed by Brian Croke. It is primarily focused on the date of Leo’s birth, recognizing that it had taken place in the autumn  of 469. Subsequently, in the autumn of 473, Leo I elevated his grandson, within a brief time span, first to the rank of Caesar in October, and then, on 17 November, to be Augustus. After his grandfather’s death shortly thereafter, on 18 January 474, Leo II, in accordance with the Senate’s decision, had appointed his father Zeno as co-ruling emperor – on 29 January. After a little less than a year of joint rule the young emperor died in November 474.

Samaritans in the Roman Empire in 2nd half of 5th century The following paper is devoted to social unrest which stirred up in Samaria in the second half of the 5th century under the reign of successive emperors – Marcian, Zeno and Anastasius. The article is an attempt at explaining why after centuries of peaceful existence within the Roman Empire, Samaritans decided to take to arms – what were the reasons and the course of these armed riots. The author analysed both Samaritan and Christian sources. The results of the analysis go against the current views – it appears that until the reign of Emperor Justinian there had not been any large-scale rebellions among Samaritan population. There had been no armed conflict that would engulf a large part of Samaria – only local riots which were of a religious not political character. There had been no rebellion against the ruler or the existing political system – the riots were directed against the Church which was expanding, mostly in spatial terms, its area of influence. Pilgrimage movement of foreign Christianity which posed a serious threat to Samarian places of cult stirred up resistance among the local population which manifested in the form of violent incidents directed against pilgrims headed towards the Holy Land. Sometimes these acts of violence escalated to larger-scale levels of conflict as it happened during the reign of Emperor Marcian. Assessing the level of such incidents under the reign of Zeno, whose rule is traditionally considered in historiography a period of great rebellion against the Roman rule, is a separate issue. Yet careful analysis of the sources indicates that these riots were nothing more than local religious conflicts and they definitely were not an attempt at becoming independent from Rome. What is more the date, 484 A.D., which is universally assigned to this event is inaccurate – the incident took place a few years earlier.

A number of cases of the bishops of Constantinople exiled over a period until as late as the close of the 6th century prove the fact that the rulers would always make an effort to remove the deposed bishops from the City, even though relocating the latter to specific destinations did not always have to be the case. In the 4th century, the bishops could withdraw to suburban districts or settle at their own estates, and it was not until the 5th century that depositions of the metropolitan bishops would involve, in principle, being deported to a specific place of exile. The purpose behind banishing a bishop from the City and putting him under supervision at a certain location was to prevent him from exerting any influence on the faithful in Constantinople. It should be also noted that sending a person into exile was a form of punishment, especially when the destination was a remote location exposed to harsh weather conditions or the threat of sudden incursions by bands of nomads or brigands. Results of an analysis of the accessibility of exile destinations provide substantial evidence for an overwhelming proportion of inland urban localities. Although many of such places would be located along or near various roads, they were generally situated far from the coast or the main routes to Constantinople.

The present article consists of an analysis of four selected historiographic works with respect to the authors’ reception of the roles of women in the events portrayed The representation of women in the church historiography of the period is a reflection of how women are perceived by the authors of the sources in question, the men from various cultural backgrounds and milieus: a Greek-speaking lector from Constantinople, a Latin-speaking bishop from the Roman part of Africa, a Syriac monk from Amida, but also a lay jurist from Antioch writing in Greek. The first part of the article contains analyses of Theodore Lector’s Church History and the Chronicle by Victor of Tunnuna. An analysis of the remaining works, as well as final conclusions, will be presented in the second part of the article.

This paper makes reference to Robert Wisniewski’s article concerned with the resignation from the practice of episcopal election by lot, apparent in Late Antiquity. This shift is puzzling, given the fact that New Testament offers the example of Matthias thus elected as the apostle replacing Judas (Acts 1: 26). Wisniewski explains this circumstance predominantly by the preeminence of bad connotations and associations with fortune-telling and divination. However, in the Vita Euthymii 45, Cyril of Scythopolis states that the monks, who were opposed to the decrees of the Council of Chalcedon, followed the example described in the Acts and cast lots in order to take a decision on entering into communion with the pro-Chalcedon bishops. The author does not see anything wrong in the method used by the monks and approves it wholeheartedly, considering the outcome as a sign of Divine Providence. Therefore, in all probability, the discontinuation of the procedure in Late Antiquity did not result from any associations with pagan rites or gambling; it was rather due to the fact that there had already existed a different, and well-entrenched, form of episcopal election in Christian tradition, in that particular period.
