Ὅτι λιμὸς γέγονεν ἐπὶ τοῦ Φώκα. ὁ δὲ τούτῳ εἰς κέρδος ἐχρήσατο. τί ἐποίησεν ὁ Μακεδὼν Βασίλειος σιτοδείας ἐπὶ τῶν ἡμερῶν αὐτοῦ γενομένης. περὶ Λέοντος τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ Φώκα. ὅτι κατὰ τοῦ βασιλέως ἠρέθισε τὸν Τζιμισκῆν ἡ Θεοφανώ. ὅτι λογοθέτην τοῦ δρόμου προεβάλετο τὸν Τζιμισκῆν ὁ Φωκᾶς. ἐπιβουλὴ τοῦ Τζιμισκῆ κατὰ τοῦ Φώκα, συμπραττούσης καῖ’ τῆς Θεοφανοῦς. ἀναίρεσις τοῦ Φώκα Νικηφόρου.
