Notes: According to the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (Oxford University Press, 1991), Andrew the Fool ([ho Salos]) is a "created" saint. A certain Nikēphoros, priest of Hagia Sophia, wrote Andrew's Life but its date remains disputed. For details, cf. ODB, v. 1, s. v. Andrew the Fool. According to the preface to the 1st ed., the author of the life is Nikēphoros, presbyter of the church of the Holy Wisdom (p. 6) and the time of the composition of the life fluctuates between 910-920 while the period of the saint's life is set at the end of the 9th and beginning of the 10th cent.
