- Thanks for taking the time! I've added the missing publisher locations, but is there really nothing more? Wetman made some comments about "historicity" in the talk page, but I couldn't exactly catch his drift. Whatever criticism or suggestions you have, please make them, no matter how minor. PS, I like Kaegi a lot, his analysis is always insightful and concise, but judging from his book on Heraclius, he can get very repetitive when going for detailed description. I don't know about your experience with him, but I think I'd enjoy having a class under him. Constantine ✍ 18:01, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting guy, but better in person than in the classroom. That was a long time ago, so he's probably retired from active teaching by now. I don't really understand Wetman's issues either, but I found the article pretty complete. To be fair I know a little bit about the Byzantines, so I may not be the best person to catch places that might be lacking, but again, I thought you did a good job summarizing what the chroniclers said and trying to reconcile their accounts.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:12, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
