Where Michael's list of the East begins office

The great Syriac world chronicle of the Syriac Orthodox patriarch Michael I, Syriac with a facing FRENCH translation, read under the translation policy. Carries the Antioch and Seleucia successions and the lists Bar Hebraeus later compiled from. Public domain by imprint date (Paris, 1899-1924), confirmed 12 Aug 2026. Link repaired 12 Aug 2026: the identifier this row carried does not exist on archive.org, and it now points at Chabot's tome I. ⚠ See book-of-the-tower: Chabot demonstrated that Michael's patriarchal appendix draws on Arabic documents shared with the Book of the Tower, so where the two agree they are not two witnesses.
