How we know the date and place

Date written probable: The Ambigua to John are of about 628 to 630; the Ambigua to Thomas are of 634 to 635 (Jankowiak and Booth, "A New Date-List of the Works of Maximus the Confessor" (2015); Sherwood (1952))
Place written not sure: Written in North Africa, where he lived from about 630; the town is not stated, and Carthage is the usual guess (Louth, Maximus the Confessor, 1996)
