The Chronicon Paschale is one of the major constituents of the Byzantine chronographic tradition covering the late-antique period. It was composed at Constantinople, c. 630, by one of the clergy of St. Sophia. Its importance is twofold: for the fifth and sixth centuries, it provides a major supplement to the Chronicle of Malalas, a sixth-century history that survives only in abbreviated form, for the seventh century, it contains substantial independent evidence (including some transcribed official letters) relating to the empire's internal and external troubles-the riots, plots, and massacres of Phocas's reign, the financial difficulties, the Avar siege of Constantinople (626), and the triumph over the Persians (628) under Heraclius.
