Several works, such as the Chronicle of Seert, the apologetical work of 'Abd al-Ğabbār, the chronicle of Eutychius of Alexandria, and the Arab canon collections testify to the wide circulation which the canons of Mārūtā, along with the set of legends on Constantine transmitted with them, enjoyed among Eastern Christianity. A careful examination of this material allows us to discern some of the mechanisms involved in the reception and appropriation of Constantine's legacy within the 'House of Islam'.
