Translated Texts for Historians This series is designed to meet the needs of students of ancient and medi- eval history and others who wish to broaden their study by reading source material, but whose knowledge of Latin or Greek is not suffi cient to allow them to do so in the original language. Many important Late Imperial and Dark Age texts are currently unavailable in translation and it is hoped that TTH will help to fi ll this gap and to complement the secondary literature in English which already exists. The series relates principally to the period 300–800 AD and includes Late Imperial, Greek, Byzantine and Syriac texts as well as source books illustrating a particular period or theme. Each vol- ume is a self-contained scholarly translation with an introductory essay on the text and its author and notes on the text indicating major problems of interpretation, including textual diffi culties.
