Mzhezh = Mezezius?

edit

Is Mzhezh same as Mezezius. There is contradictory sources on the topic suggesting the one died decades before, but name is similiar and also uncommon. Mjej Gnuni (talk) 22:26, 27 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Apparently not. The two people named "Mzezh" acted with an interval of several decades, and it is hard to believe that a man who was general in the 630s would still be active 30 years later. At any rate, the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium does not mention anything about the previous Mzezh, and mentions Mezezius solely as the general of Sicily and usurper.
