Text	Antapodosis (Liber retributionis) (958 - 962) Liutprand of Cremona
Quotation	Eodem tempore Simeon Bulgarius Argos coepit vehementer afligere. Quem Romanos, filii sui Christofori filia filio illius Petro, qui nunc superest, uxore data, ab incepto furore conpescuit sibique foedere placito sociavit. Unde et puella mutato nomine est Iríni, id est pax, vocata, eo quod per eam inter Bulgarios et Grecos pax sit firmissima constituta.
Translation	At that same time the Bulgarian Symeon began vigorously to afflict the Argives. Romanos, having given the daughter of his son Christopher as a wife for Symeon’s son Peter, who is still alive, restrained him from the rampage he had launched, and allied him to himself with a treaty. Whence the girl was called Irini, by a changed name, because through her a very solid peace was established between Bulgarians and Greeks.
