theta 201. A native of Egypt, Theophylact Simocatta (or as here Simocattes: either way 'Snubnosed Cat') flourished at Constantinople at the time of Emperor Heraclius (610-40), under whom he served as imperial secretary. He was the author of historiography, epistles and dialogues concerning physical questions (see below for the editions). Besides
