Byzantine historians tied Peter primarily with the establishment of the lasting peace with the Empire in 927. In the sources that present the events from before the reign of the emperor Nikephor Phokas (963-969), when the relations between both states deteriorated, Peter is commonly portrayed as a peacemaker, a deeply religious man, accepting of the Byzantine way of understanding the role of the ruler in religious matters. However, Byzantine authors point out that Peter was able to successfully secure his position and ruthlessly deal with his enemies. The sources describing the events from the last years of his reign portray him as a prideful person, daring to stand up against the Byzantine basileÚj, and who gets rightfully and severely punished for his actions. It should be noted that most often the Byzantine authors did not describe their attitude towards Peter, and did not judge him directly. This results in the reader having to build the image of the Bulgarian ruler himself, based on how the sources describe the events concerning his reign.

John Skylitzes, author of the Synopsis Historion was a chronicler who paid special attention to the genealogy of the great aristocratic families and their particular figures. One such person was Constantine Dalassenos. Historian narrated his deeds in a special manner and differs from other contemporary narratives. Analysis of the source material indicates that Skylitzes used special source associated with Dalassenos which is now lost. The fate of Dalassenos was especially interesting to Skylitzes who was an important figure at the court of emperor Alexios I Komnenos and his mother Anna Dalassene. Historian presented Dalassenos’ deeds in favourable light: showed him as the original successor of Constantine VIII and as a victim of repressions on part of the low-born Paphlagonians. Skylitzes aim was to highlights links of Dalassenoi with the Macedonian Dynasty and thus strengthen the ideological foundation of Alexios I Komnenos’ reign.

Jan Skylitzes, autor Zarysu historii, to kronikarz, który przejawiał niezwykłe zainteresowanie genealogią wielkich rodzin arystokratycznych, a także losami jej przedstawicieli. Jedną z takich postaci był Konstantyn Dalassen. Dziejopis ukazał jego losy w niezwykły sposób, odbiegający od innych współczesnych mu narracji. Materiał źródłowy zdaje się wskazywać, że Skylitzes wykorzystał przy tym niezachowane źródło związane z Dalassenem. Historyk był szczególnie zainteresowany losami Dalassena, gdyż to ważna postać na dworze cesarza Aleksego I Komnena i jego matki Anny Dalasseny. Ukazał losy Dalassena w przychylnym dla niego świetle jako pierwotnego następcę Konstantyna VIII i ofiarę represji ze strony nisko urodzonych Paflagończyków. Skylitzes chciał w ten sposób wykazać związki łączące Dalassenów z dynastią macedońską, a tym samym wzmocnić ideologiczne podstawy panowania Aleksego I Komnena.

Fourty years have passed since the critical edition of “An Outline of History” (Synopsis Historion). In terms of the genre classification of the Byzantine literature, it is the chronicle of the history of the reign of the subsequent Byzantine emperors from 811 to 1057. The suburb of Hebdomon appears several times in “An Outline of History” and it plays a number of roles in the political customs of the then Byzantium. It functioned as a place of the enthronement of the Byzantineemperors, their triumphs, their ceremonious arrivals in the capital city, their departures beyond the walls of Constantinople and, in some cases, as a place of their burial. The term “Hebdomon” derives from the Greek numeral ébdomos, and it refers to the Latin expression septimum miliarium. It encompasses an area situated at a distance of seven Roman miles (c. 10 km) from the symbolic centre of Constantinople in the Augusteon square.
