Works *Xronografi/a, ta\ tw=n ne/wn *Basile/wn perie/xonsa, Chronographia Res a Recentioribus Imperatoribus Gestas Complectens The work of Leo Grammaticus is entitled *Xronografi/a, ta\ tw=n ne/wn *Basile/wn perie/xonsa, Chronographia Res a Recentioribus Imperatoribus Gestas Complectens, and extends from the accession of Leo V. the Armenian, A. D. 813, to the death of Romanus Lecapenus, A. D. 948 or 949, not, as Cave inaccurately states, to A. D. 1013. Leo has little in common with the anonymous continuator of Theophanes [LEONTIUS, No. 6] in that part of his work which comprehends the period before Basil the Macedonian; but in the latter part the two authors have many passages either identical or varying but little from each other: but the uncertainty attaching to the date of Leo's work makes it doubtful which was the first written.

Oudin observes that the Chronicon agrees in several places to the letter with the work of Leo Grammaticus; he says it is borrowed from it, and, as he assigns Leo's work to A. D. 1013. he urges this as one argument for the later date assigned by him to Metaphrastes. But we have elsewhere stated that the date assigned by him to Leo's work is inaccurate; the argument built upon it therefore falls. [LEO, Greek writers, No. 15.] Combéfis suspects that Psellus [PSELLUS, No. 3] was the continuator of the Chronicon. (Fabric. Bibl.
