A devastating <entity_1> known in scientific literature as the <entity_0> struck on January 18, <entity_2>, in areas of the Umayyad Caliphate, with the epicenter in Galilee. The primary sources offer multiple year dates for the seismic events, but seismic catalogues of the 1980s and 1990s agreed in attributing all descriptions to an <entity_1> occurring on 18 January, <entity_2>. Theophanes reports that a second <entity_1> took place in the year 6241 (<entity_2>/750 in the Anno Domini system). A resulting transcription error may explain why Theophanes dates his second <entity_1> to 750 rather than <entity_2>. George Hamartolos (9th century) repeated verbatim Theophanes' account of the <entity_2>/750 <entity_1>, and only commented on the oracle-like mule. The only one who provides a specific chronology for the event was Elijah of Nisibis, who reports that the <entity_1> actually started in year 1059 of the Seleucid era and ended in year 1060 of the same era (Spring 748 and Spring <entity_2>). Abu'l-Fath dated this <entity_1> in Hijri year 131 (748/<entity_2> in Anno Domini).
