Summary

Description
English: Skyllitzes Matritensis, fol. 96r.

Miniature:

  • Delegation of Croats and Serbs to the Byzantine Emperor Basil I.
Text from the Chronicle of John Skylitzes: "... When the aforementioned races of Scyths, the Croats, Serbs and the rest of them saw what had happened in Dalmatia as a result of Roman intervention, they sent delegates to emperor requesting to be brought into subjection under Roman rule. This seemed to emperor to be a reasonable request; he received them with kindliness, and they all became subjects of the Roman government and were given governors of their own race and kin. ..." (Translated by John Wortley, in: John Skylitzes: A Synopsis of Byzantine History, 811-1057: Translation and Notes, p. 143)

Miniatur:

  • Delegation der Serben und Kroaten beim byzantinschen Kaiser Basileios I..
Text aus der Chronik von Johannes Skylitzes: "... Auch die vorher aufgeführten Skythenstämme, also die Chrobatoi, Serboi und die anderen, nahmen die erfolgreichen Maßnahmen der Rhomäer in Dalmatien wahr. So entsandten sie zum Kaiser Delegierte in der Absicht, sich dem Joch rhomäischer Herrschaft zu beugen. Der Kaiser hörte ihre Bitte an und nahm sie menschenfreundlich auf. Sie alle kehrten unter rhomäischer Botmäßigkeit zurück und empfingen als Häuptlinge vertraute Leute ihrer Nationalität. ..." (Synopsis Historion S. 146-147 übersetzt von Hans Thurn, in: Byzantinische Geschichtsschreiber 15, S. 83)
