Romuald of Salerno wrote that there was an earthquake in Syria so great that Mamistra and Marais [Marash] were razed to the ground, and several other cities and fort-towns fell, their men crushed. Romuald added that part of Antioch and even Jerusalem collapsed to the ground. He dated the earthquake to the month of December, before Christmas, in 1115 CE, but also to the 8th indiction, which would place it in December 1114 CE. Guidoboni and Comastri (2005) note that Romuald of Salerno, like other secondary Latin sources, tend to give wrong dates for this earthquake. Ambraseys (2009) placed this account from Romuald in his entry for an earthquake on 29 November 1114 CE and expressed doubts about the reported geographical extent of damage, particularly about the damage extending to Jerusalem. He wrote that this damage [in Jerusalem] might be dismissed as gross exaggeration, perhaps to implicate all the Crusader states in the sins that brought on the earthquake. However, it is unlikely that the earthquake extended this far … since Fulcher was probably living in Jerusalem when the earthquake happened, but does not even say that it was felt there.
