Χρονογράφια ἐν συνόψει (
Joel wrote Χρονογράφια ἐν συνόψει, being a short narrative of the most memorable events of history, especially Byzantine. The work begins with Adam, and finishes with the death of the emperor Alexis Ducas Murzuphlus, and the conquest of Constantinople by the Latins, in 1204. From the lamentations with which he ends his history, one might conclude that he witnessed the capture of the Greek capital. The whole work is of little importance, though the latter part of it is of some value for Byzantine history.

In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
