Note 63 — Chapter VII · LEO THE ISAURIAN TO JOANNES ZIMISCES [717-969 A.D.] (continued 2)
Reading edition
[According to Finlay,n Romanus had sailed away without a battle, after the land-forces had been crushingly defeated by the Bulgarian king, Simeon, at Achelous, 917. In 921, and again in 923, Simeon penetrated to the walls of Constantinople. In 934 and in 943 the Hungarians had like success, being bought off on both occasions. In 963, however, they were defeated. The Italian provinces underwent similar vicissitudes.]
