POSTSCRIPT

The following articles which contain new sources relevant to Chapter 2 of this book appeared too late to be fully utilized in this collection which was completed in early 1989:

Feissel D. and Gascou, J. 1989. ‘Documents d’archives romains inédits du Moyen Euphrate (IIIe siècle après J.-C)’, CRAI 1989 (July–Dec.): 531–61.

Tavoosi, M. and Frye, R. 1990. ‘An inscribed capital dating from the time of Shapur I’, Bulletin of the Asia Institute (of Wayne State University), 3: 25–8.

Teixidor, J. 1989. ‘Les derniers rois d’Edesse d’après deux nouveaux documents syriaques’, ZPE 76:219–22.

The following important monographs on the Eastern Frontier also appeared too late to be used for our work:

French, D.H. and Lightfoot, C.S. (ed.) 1989. The Eastern Frontier of the Roman Empire. Proceedings of a colloquium held at Ankara in September 1988.

Isaac, B. 1989, 2nd edn 1992. The Limits of Empire. The Roman Army in the East, Oxford. Kennedy, D. and Riley, J. 1991. Rome’s Desert Frontier from the Air, London.

Particularly important among the many books and articles on Romano-Persian relations and the Eastern Frontier published since 1991 is:

Blockley, R.C. 1992. East Roman Foreign Policy, Formation and Conduct from Diocletian to Anastasius, Leeds.

Important note on 6.2.1 (p. 146)

Cedrenus has based his account of Constantine’s Persian campaign and the construction work of Euphratas almost entirely from Byzantine hagiographical material on the Emperor. (For examples of his possible sources see Guidi, I. 1907. ‘Un BIOS di Constantino’, Rendiconti della Reale accademia dei Lincei, Classe di Scienze Morali, Storiche e Filologiche, 5th Ser. 16:316–19. Halkin, F. 1959, ‘Une nouvelle vie de Constantin dans un legendier de Patmos’, Analecta Bollandiana 77:84–91 and Devos, P. 1982, ‘Une recension nouvelle de la passion grecque BHG 639 de Saint Eusignios’, Analecta Bollandiana 100:225– 7. For a critical discussion of these later sources on Constantine see esp. Kazhdan, A. 1987. ‘Constantine “imaginaire”’. Byzantine legends of the ninth century about Constantine the Great, Byzantion 57:234– 40.) Cedrenus’ account, which is not corroborated by more contemporary sources, therefore has no historical value except as an example of the popular desire among Byzantine hagiographers to portray Constantine as a victor over oriental foes.
