    Metcalf reports that from a comparative study of sixth-century imperial titulatures Sodini concluded the Kythrea imperial rescript is not Justinian's (as Mitford inclined) but probably Tiberius II or, better, Maurice; and that Sodini pointed out John the Almsgiver could not have intervened at Constantia in c.617 as he arrived in Cyprus in 619.
