Some Bulgarian scholars consider the contradictory dates of the two surviving references to Kormisosh to indicate that they refer to two different rulers, placing a "Kormesiy" as reigning between Tervel and Sevar, and a separate "Kormisosh" as reigning between Sevar and Vineh. Most researchers however believe there to have been only one such ruler, chronologically misplaced by one of the sources. It is for instance often considered likely that the early placement of Kormisosh in the works of Theophanes is an error and that the Bulgarian ruler actually meant is
Tervel. Fine (1991) and Detrez (2014) place Kormisosh between Sevar and Vineh, reigning 739–756. Treadgold (1997) likewise places him between Sevar and Vineh, though dates him to 750–762. Morby (2014) and Curta (2019) however place Kormisosh between Tervel and Sevar and dates his reign to 721–738. ==See also==
