This is a Syriac text written, in all probability, by an inhabitant
of Edessa almost immediately after the conclusion of the war
between Rome and Persia in 502-506 AD. Although that conflict is
treated in other ancient texts, none of them can match "Joshua" in
his wealth of detail, his familiarity with the region where the
hostilities occurred, and his proximity in time to the events. The
Chronicle also vividly describes the famine and plague that swept
through Edessa in the years immediately before the war. The work is
a document of great importance for both the social and military
history of late antiquity, remarkable for the information it
provides on Roman and Persian empires alike.
