Wikipedia extract
The Khuzistan Chronicle is an anonymous 7th-century Nestorian Christian chronicle. Written in Syriac in East Syrian circles, it covers the period from ca. 590–660, from the end of reign of the Sasanian ruler Hormizd IV to the aftermath of the fall of the Sasanian Empire (652). The work was a work of contemporary accounts and combines material from written sources and oral accounts. The chronicle was discovered by the Italian orientalist Ignazio Guidi (1844–1935), and is also known as Guidi's Chronicle or the Guidi Anonymous. It is an important source on the Arab conquests.
