Summary[edit]

Description
English: Skyllitzes Matritensis, fol. 29v.

Miniature:

Text from the Chronicle of John Skylitzes: "... Here he entered the service of a senator but became so undisciplined and arrogant that he even dared to insult his master's marriage bed. Caught in the act, he could not beat reproach and he was terrified of the kind of punishments reserved for such crimes, so he fled to Hagarens. ..." (Translated by John Wortley, in: John Skylitzes: A Synopsis of Byzantine History, 811-1057: Translation and Notes, p. 32)

Miniatur:

Text aus der Chronik von Johannes Skylitzes: "... ein Mitglied des Senates habe ihn in seine Dienste genommen. Dabei habe er seine Geilheit und seinen Hochmut so weit getrieben, daß er es wagte, das Ehebett seines Herrn zu schänden. Als er dabei ertappt wurde, sei ihm die Schmach zuviel geworden, er habe auch die Strafen, die für derartige Frevler festgesetzt sind, gefürchtet, und deshalb habe er bei den Agarenern (Arabern) Zuflucht gesucht. ..."
