Ecclesiastical History by John of Ephesus

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.
