Ecclesiastical History by John of Ephesus
Background and Biography
Excerpts
Although
Ambraseys (2009)
reports that
John of Ephesus (John Eph. NA 463) implies that
Tyre and Sidon were in fact totally destroyed
, the extant part of
John of Ephesus'
Ecclesiastical History does not, according to
Brock (1979:6-7), cover the year 502 CE and I could find no mention of this earthquake in the English translation by
Payne Smith (1860).
Ambraseys (2009) was
possibly referring to another author or another work where John is quoted.
