Anastasii 6 from III. Id. April.
The fifth year of the Isaurian war is marked by Theoforus Lector p.559 A the war having
lasted for five years and Anastasius being tired Eupfemius, CP bishop hoped that peace
is approaching etc.-However, Anastasius moved against the Isaurians like a king and
defeated them decisively, and he sent to Euphemius and he announces him etc.
Theophanes p.119 C 120 A places the reference to Ruphemius in the 4 th of Anastasius: at
this year-the king being tired etc. and the defeat of the Isauruans in the 5 th of Anastasius:
p.120B at this year Joannes the Scythian was besieging, he captured the magister
Longinus from Selinus and Athenodorus and the rest of the tyrants; and after he
decapitated them he sent their head to Byzantium to the king Anastasius. And
Anastasius placed the heads of the tyrants on horses-he showed them to everybody.-He
announced to the bishop Eypemius by the magister Eusebius etc. But the war was not
ended till 499: conf.a. Euphemius was deposed in 4596: see col. 4. We must therefore
suppose that the Isaurian leaders were repulsed in 496 and that Anastasius spoke only of
this apud Theod. Lect. P.559 B Theophanem p.120 p.120 C, but that the leaders were taken
after the exile of Euphemius
Victory of Clovis: Greg. Tur. H.Fr.II.30 Bellum contra Alamannos comvoretur.-Facturm
ets autem ut confligente utroque exercitu vehemwenter coderentur, atque exercitus
Chlorovechi valde ad internecionem ruere cœpit. Quod ille videns, elevates ad cælum
oculis, compunctus corde commotus in lacrymis ait “Jesu Christe,-si mili victoriam super
hos hostes indulseris, et expertus fuero illam virtutem quam de te populus tuo nomini
dicatus probasse se prædicat, credam tibi et in nomine tuo baptizer.” &c.-Cumque hæc
diceret, Alamanni terga vertentes in fugam labi cœperunt, cumque regem sum cernerent
intermtum, Chlorovechi se ditionibus subdunt.-at ille prohibito bello coartato que populo
cum pace regressus narravit reginæ qualiter per invocationem nominis Christi victoriam
meruit obtinere. (Actum anno XV o regni sui). These last words according to the editor are
absent from many MSS. but are inserted (alia manu) in two copies. This date is alos
inserted in two MSS. in II.37, although at the wrong place; for it refers not to be the war
with Alaric but to the war with the Alamanni there mentioned. And we may transpose the
passage in II.37 and read thus: pugnans contra Alamannos apud Tulbiacense oppidum
anno XV o Chlorovechi.The baptism of Chlovis followed: Greg. Tur.II.31. On Christmasday:
Aviti epistola. And, as the victory was shortly followed by the baptism Dec. 25, it
must be referred to the autumn. The 15 th year of Chlovis Commenced in the beginning of
A.D.496 because the 30 th year commenced in the beginning of A.D.511: conf.a.511.2.4.
And these events in the 15 th year of his reign are determined to the autumn and to
December of A.D.496.
The letter of Avitus is quoted by Ruinart in Append. Ad Greg. Tur.p.1322: Aviti
Viennensis episcope epistola ad Chlodo veum regem. Occiduis paribus in rege non novo
novi jubaris limen effulgurat, cujus splendorem congrue Redemptoris nostril nativitas
inchoaavit; ut consequenter eo die ad salutem regerari ex unda vos pareat quo natum
redemptioni suæ cæli Dominum sit et vestry-in quo vos animam Deo vitam præsentibus
famam posteris consecrastis. We may suppose that the epistle was written in January
A.D.497.
