ABSTRACT
There might be a few difficult decisions here and there involving the evidence of a single witness, but the author felt confident that for the final section of the chronicle the result would be clear and straightforward. The Chronographia was the last apologetic chronological compilation; the Canones was the last olympiad chronicle. It used to be argued and accepted that the Armenian and Syriac structure was that of Eusebius’ original Greek text. In a normal olympiad chronicle the page is graphically divided by the chronological notice that presents the olympiad, the archons, the consuls, or any other chronological system. It has always been assumed that the disappearance of Eusebius’ original Greek text was due to Eusebius’ anti-eschatological chronology, which set it apart from all other world chronologies of the time and made it the target of correction many times over the years.
