  [120]Cf.De thematibus,c.3,ed.Pertusi.See also M.Rajkovic,‘Oblast Strimona i tema Strimon’(The region of the Strymon and the theme Strymon’),ZRVI 5(1958),1 ff.

  [121]Cf.Lemerle,‘Invasions’,269 ff.It may be left an open question here as to whether the Illyrian prefecture,as Lemerle is inclined to believe,ceased to exist in the mid-seventh century,i.e.in the period between the composition of Book Ⅰ and Book Ⅱ of the Miracula S.Demetrii.In any case,it is tempting to suppose that the well-known passage in the only letter of Theodore the Studite mentioning an eparch still in Thessalonica in 796(Migne,PG99,col.917)really refers to the city eparch of Thessalonica.This would do away with the obviously difficult assumption that the Illyrian prefecture continued into the ninth century,i.e.until the establishment of the theme of Thessalonica(cf.Gelzer,‘Themenverfassung’35 ff.;Bury,Eastern Rom.Empire 223 f.,followed by later scholars)。 ↑返回顶部↑
