The Anonymous Itinerarium (erroneously) attributed to Antoninus of Piacenza
describes a journey undertaken in the sixth century CE, perhaps five to fifteen years after the earthquake. This account is the closest surviving record to a post-earthquake survey. It reports that
Tripolis
,
Byblos
,
Treiris
, and
Berytus (Beirut)
were destroyed, while
Sidon
was partially ruined.
