HOLLIS searches 'Zonaras Epitome' (40 hits) and 'Zonaras Epitome English translation' (4 hits) surface only three English renderings: Banchich & Lane, The History of Zonaras (Routledge Classical Translations, 2009), whose HOLLIS contents note lists 'Book XII.15-35' and the comments that follow, i.e. Books XII.15-XIII only (Alexander Severus to Theodosius I); DiMaio's 1977 Missouri dissertation with text and translation of the Neo-Flavian section; and a partial manuscript translation of c. 1628-1629 held by Harvard. No English version of Books I-XI or XIV-XVIII appears in any Harvard holding. The complete Greek text (Dindorf, Teubner 1868-70) exists as a First1KGreek TEI edition.
18 books, creation to the death of Alexios I (1118). The most-quoted Byzantine chronicle after Theophanes and the main continuous narrative for the 11th-12th centuries; roughly 348,000 Greek tokens in the Dindorf-based TEI, so only about 3 of 18 books (the Severan-Theodosian slice) are in English. Coverage of the Komnenian era (Books XV-XVIII) is entirely untranslated.
