The article looks at the problem of the date and place of provenance of the anonymous Byzantine world chronicle better referred to as the "Historia Imperatorum". In particular it notes the possibilities arising out of the use of a late mediaeval unit of measure, tha cafiz, and judges these in relation to further evidence that is forthcoming from the chronicle. It concludes by pointing out the problems in any determination of time and place, as well as suggesting further avenues of research toward the specification of both.
