  MARIA . The Chronicle of Michael the Syrian records that Emperor Mauritius married "sa fille Marie" to "Khosrov" who built three churches in her honour[437]. The Georgian Chronicle (18th century) records that "l'empereur Maurice…donna sa fille en mariage" to "Kasré-Ambarwez", who had sought refuge in Greece after being expelled from Persia, and gave him troops which enabled him to recapture his kingdom from "Bahram Tchoubin"[438].
  
  A possible indirect indication of the marriage is also contained in the Georgian Chronicle (13th century), a possibly more reliable source, as discussed in the introduction to the document GEORGIA, which states that, after the murder of Emperor Mauritius, "wife's father, Kasre king of Iran" became angered and invaded "the country of the Byzantines, destroyed many districts, captured Jerusalem and the Lord's cross"[439].
  
  The translator of the edition consulted assumed that the phrase "wife's father" meant Emperor Mauritius's wife's father, which is inconsistent with the parentage of Mauritius's known wife Constantina as reported in other primary sources (see above). However, it could be a garbled reference to the Persian king's own wife's father being the deceased emperor.
