Death of Justinian: Theophanes p.203 C at this 4 th year [sc. Anno 38 o ] king Justinian,<br />
who provoked the dogma about the corruptible and incorruptible and he issued an<br />
edict everywhere about worshiping different god passed away on 11 th November of<br />
the current 14 th indiction [commencing Sept. 1 A.D.565], after he reigned for 38<br />
years 7 months and 13 days, and his nephew Justin the Couropalatis succeeds him<br />
in the throne. Repeated by Cedrenus p.388 A. Evagr. IV.39 Justinian –after<br />
(because) he anathematized against Origen and Didymus and Evagrius, after the<br />
deposing of Eustochius he writes the so-called edict to the Romans, in which he<br />
called the body of the Lord incorruptible and not subjected to the natural suffering<br />
(and passions)etc. c.41 after he was hurt invisible his life ended after he reigned<br />
everything for 38 years and 8 months. Zonaras XIV p.70 A Justinian the king passed<br />
away after he reigned for 38 months and 8 months and 17 days, leaving the reign to<br />
his nephew Justin. Malalas also gives to Justinia38 y 7 m 13 d and places his death in<br />

A Justinian-ruled for 39 year the affairs of Romans the scepter of his authority<br />
(hegemony) was passed to Justin Jr, who happened to be Justinian’s nephew. These<br />
are 39 years current. Joannes Epiphaniensis apud Alemannum ad Procop. Anecdot.<br />
P.457 after he ruled for 39 year all the Romans he died (his life ended), which also<br />
mean current years. Improperly understood by Alemannus to mean 39 years “et<br />
septem prætera menses ac dies tredecim.” Which Joannes would have called 40 years<br />
current. That Justinian died in 565 is attested by a law and an inscription of the reign<br />
of Justin: conf.a.566.3.577.3, and by Menander quoted at A.D.569. Justin succeds<br />
Nov.1: Theophanes p.204 on 14 th November of this year of the 14 th indiction became<br />
king Justin, Justinian’s nephew, who was crowned by the Patriarch Joannes from<br />
the scholastics; he was of Thracian descent etc. Justinian therefore reigned Apr. 1<br />
A.D. 527-Nov.13 A.D.565 both days inclusive, and Nov.14 A.D.565 was the first of<br />
the reign of Justin.<br />
Embassy of the Avars: Corripus III.233 on the 7 th day after Justin’s accession: septima<br />
lux viderat orbem Corippus III.151. This embassy is described by Menander c. 6 p.101<br />
D during Justin’s Jr. reign ambassadors of the Avars arrived in Byzantium and they<br />
received the customary gifts, the previous king Justinian used to give.-Then the<br />
ambassadors of the Avars went to the king because the were thinking that it would<br />
not be any other way to receive gifts and to enjoy the lyxuries of the Romans.-and<br />
even they were demanding to be around the king etc. Valesius ad Menandrum p.101<br />
D rightly refers this passage of Menander to the embassy which Corippus has<br />
described.<br />
