On the background of Zachariah of Mytilene the church historian and
companion of Severus, discussed in section B of the introduction, see S.
Destephen, Prosopographie chrétienne du bas-empire. Prosopographie du
diocèse d'Asie (Paris, 2008),
s.v. Zacharias 1 (pp.961-73), who offers a very complete assessment of
his life and works which is broadly in agreement with what we put
forward. In the same work biographies of bishops of Ephesus (see PZ
iv.5a), such as Bassianus and Stephen may also be found.
F. Alpi, La route royale. Sévère d'Antioche et les églises
d'Orient (512-518), 2 vols. (Beirut, 2009), is a singularly valuable
work in assessing the life and patriarchate of Severus: of course, PZ in
VII barely discusses the years of Severus' patriarchate, but Alpi's work
has much of general value, e.g. a discussion of Severus' life and career
(I, 39-56), where of course his relationship to Zachariah is discussed.
On PZ VIII.5c (p.304 and n.111), on the Pesilta monastery, see E.
Keser Kayaalp, 'A Newly Discovered Rock-Cut Complex. Monastery of
Phesilta?', Mitteilungen des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts
(Istanbul) 58 (2008), 261-83.
On PZ IX.13c (p.339 in the translation), one of Severus' letters to
Julian of Halicarnassus, I have published a brief article noting the
existence of an anonymous version of part of this passage in Greek. See
the
journal Parekbolai 1 (2011) for details (available on-line free).
I am currently working on a project funded by the Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council of Canada to produce a commentary on the
first two books of Procopius' Wars (i.e. the Persian Wars)
