Hi all,
I've read that the dating of the treatise of Syrianus Magister (formerly known as Anonymi Byzantini Peri strategias) has been revised and some scholars now think it's middle Byzantine work. Allegedly the arguments are summarised in this article:
Cosentino, S.: The Syrianos' Strategikon - a 9th Century Source?, Bizantinistica 2, 2000, 243-280.
Unfortunately I don't have access to this article. Have anybody read it and could write here the main arguments for different dating of this work?
Greetings
Alexandr
