[Footnote 42: From Procopius and Agathias, Pagi (tom. ii. p.
543, 626) has proved that Chosroes Nushirvan ascended the
throne in the fifth year of Justinian, (A.D. 531, April 1. -
A.D. 532, April 1.) But the true chronology, which
harmonizes with the Greeks and Orientals, is ascertained by
John Malala, (tom. ii. 211.) Cabades, or Kobad, after a
reign of forty-three years and two months, sickened the 8th,
and died the 13th of September, A.D. 531, aged eighty-two
years. According to the annals of Eutychius, Nushirvan
reigned forty seven years and six months; and his death must
consequently be placed in March, A.D. 579.]
