This article uses the date 6 November 447 for the earthquake that severely damaged the Theodosian walls. As the article for the earthquake makes clear, that is only one of the dates that have been proposed, with 26 January, 8 November and 8 December all being proposed (I've since found sources that use 4 November as well). The 26 January date comes from Malalas, and is supported by Marcellinus's description of the event being in "early 447". The 6 November date comes from the Chronicon Paschale. All this is taken from Guidoboni et al. 1994, accessible here (you'll need to click on "Comm." on that page to bring this up). Nicholas Ambraseys regards the 26 January earthquake as a foreshock to the main event on 6 November, [1] so there is no agreement amongst seismologists any more than there is between historians.
