Parastaseis syntomoi chronikai

Parastaseis syntomoi chronikai (Greek: Παραστάσεις σύντομοι χρονικαί, "brief historical notes") is an eighth- to ninth-century^[1] Byzantine text^[2] that concentrates on brief commentary connected to the topography of Constantinople and its monuments,^[3] notably its Classical Greek sculpture, for which it has been mined by art historians.

^ The date is a matter of discussion: its editors Averil Cameron and Judith Herrin argued for an early eighth-century date; A. Kazhdan, reviewing their edition in Byzantinische Zeitschrift 80 (1987:400-03), argued for a late eighth or early ninth-century date.
^ Its modern edition, with text and translation, is Averil Cameron and Judith Herrin, eds. Constantinople in the Early Eighth Century: the Parastaseis syntomoi chronikai, series Columbia Studies in the Classical Tradition (Leiden, 1984).
