Only an Aragonese translation of
Joannes Zonaras’
Annales was accessed, so the earthquake account may
be abbreviated. In the Aragonese version, Zonaras appears
to have described one of the Sabbatical Year Earthquakes,
stating that
on the 23rd of September, there was a
powerful earthquake where many homes and churches were
destroyed
. He followed this statement with a description
of building damage in Anatolia, suggesting that he either
amalgamated multiple earthquake accounts or was referring
to an earthquake in Anatolia rather than to one of the
Sabbatical Year Earthquakes.
