Summary/Abstract: The siege of Nisibis, which took place in 350 AD, is mentioned in various ways in Greek sources. Dependencies can also be established between the texts, but based on the differences, we sometimes have to assume other (now lost) intermediary sources. This paper examines the passages about the siege in the Chronicon Paschale and Theophanes’ Chronicle and tries to explain the similarities and differences in the two texts.
