The dating of these events is disputed. Choniates records the date of the clash between the supporters of the "Caesarissa" and the imperial troops as 2 May on the 15th indiction, i.e. 2 May 1182, but as Varzos points out, this is clearly an error, as this was the date of the Massacre of the Latins. Therefore, many modern scholars have interpreted the date as 2 May 1181, but this contradicts the indiction dating given by Choniates. Among the scholars who accept the dating of these events to 1181, several, including the English translator of Choniates, Harry Magoulias, place the date of the intended coup on 7 February, but as Choniates' German editor, Jean-Louis Van Dieten, points out, for that year the feast day of the martyr Theodore, mentioned by Choniates, was on 21 February. According to Van Dieten's chronology, the condemnation of the conspirators took place on 1 March 1181, and the clashes took place on 2 May. The historian Oktawiusz Jurewicz, in his study on Andronikos I Komnenos, placed the events in 1182. As other events took place soon after, he proposed that the uprising and reconciliation all took place in February 1182, with the date for the original, aborted coup on 13 February.
