Chronicle of Khuzestan

The Chronicle of Khuzestan (also spelled Khuzistan) is an anonymous 7th-century Nestorian Christian chronicle. Written in Syriac, it covers the period from the reign of Sasanian ruler Hormizd IV (r. 579–590) to the mid-7th century, during the early Muslim conquests. The chronicle was discovered by the Italian orientalist Ignazio Guidi (1844–1935), hence it is also known as Guidi's Chronicle or the Guidi Anonymous. It is thought by some to be a portion of a lost history written by Elias of Merv.
