| "In these hundred years from [Sel.] 1000 onward... these geonim reigned in Sura: Mar Rav Hanina of Nehar Pakod, five years" (c. 689–694 CE).
Years chained from the Iggeret's century anchor (Sel. 1000 = 689 CE) and its stated durations; the chain meshes with Yehudai Gaon's independently anchored 757–761 to within a few years.
