      Greek <hi rend="ital">Chronicon,</hi> extending from the creation to the end of the reign of
      Michael III., the son of Theophilus, or to <date when-custom="866">A. D. 866</date>. It was formerly
      extant in the library of the Elector Palatine, and was used by Sylburgius, as he says in the
      preface to his <title xml:lang="la">Saracenica ;</title> it is probably still extant in the
      Vatican library at Rome. Mongitore mentions one other copy, if not more. It is probable that
      he is the author cited by Cedrenus in his <title xml:lang="la">Compendium</title> (<hi rend="ital">Prooem.</hi>) as <foreign xml:lang="grc">ὁ Σικελιώτης</foreign>, but this is
      not clear. A Joannes Siculus, apparently the same, is enumerated among the Christian
      commentators on Hermogenes. (Fabric. <hi rend="ital">Bibl. Gr.</hi> vol. vii. p. 471; Voss.
       <hi rend="ital">de Historicis Graecis,</hi> 4.21; Mongitore, <hi rend="ital">Bibliotheca
