Summary

Description
English: Skyllitzes Matritensis, fol. 173r, detail

Miniature:

Text from the Chronicle of John Skylitzes: "...When Sviatoslav was making his way back home, as he passed through the land of the Patzinaks, he fell into ambushes already prepared to take him. He and the entire host that accompanied him were completely annihilated, so angry were the Patzinaks with him for having made a treaty with the Romans..." (Translated by John Wortley, in: John Skylitzes: A Synopsis of Byzantine History, 811-1057: Translation and Notes, p. 293)
