Source
The Chronicon Paschale (paschal or Easter chronicle) is a chronicle compiled at Constantinople in the first half of the 7th century. It covers events from the creation of the world up to the anonymous author's own time. The Chronicle probably concluded with the year 630 (see Whitby and Whitby 1989, xi), though the surviving text breaks off slightly earlier, in the entry for 628. The traditional name for the Chronicle originates from its introductory section, which discusses methods for calculating the date of Easter. The Chronicle survives thanks to a single manuscript, Vatican, Gr. 1941 (10th c.), on which all other surviving manuscripts depend. The only critical edition remains that of Ludwig Dindorf (1832).The chronicler uses multiple chronological systems to date events: Olympiads, consular years, indictions, and years from the Ascension, as well as using Roman, Greek, and sometimes Egyptian dates (see Whitby and Whitby 1989, x). Numerous literary sources are utilised for the period before the author's own time, including well-known historical sources such as Eusebius and John Malalas. We have not included entries for material in the Paschal Chronicle which simply reproduces material in earlier sources already entered in our database.
Discussion
The translation of the remains of Timothy, Luke, and Andrew to the church of the Holy Apostles in 356/7 is widely recorded (e.g. E04569, E05132). Whitby and Whitby 1989, 33, n. 101, note that the admiring comments in the entry about the piety of the emperor Constantius suggest that the chronicler used an Arian source, which was probably also used by the Arian ecclesiastical historian Philostorgius (for his account of the event, see E04195). For the church of the Holy Apostles, see Janin 1969, 41-50.Bibliography
