1. The Chronici canones of Eusebius of Caesarea: Structure, Content, and Chronology, AD 282-325.
2. The Continuatio Antiochiensis Eusebii: A Chronicle of Antioch and the Roman Near East during the Reigns of Constantine and Constantius II, AD 325-350.

Two detailed studies based upon the reconstructed Greek texts of the last portion of the chronicle of Eusebius of Caesarea and a lost continuation of Eusebius written in Antioch in 350. The commentary of the former concentrates on Eusebius and the writing of the chronicle, that of the latter on a detailed analysis of the events narrated by the chronicler from 325 to 350.
