Abstract: This article presents the details and the results of the application of a 'soft' model for astronomical dating of the seven eclipses mentioned in the Chronicle of Hydatius, for the time interval (600, 1000), i.e. since 600 AD till 1000 AD. The analysis of the date shows, that in the interval (600, 1000) the following two septets (i.e. groups of seven) of eclipses are the best candidates for dating of the eclipses mentioned in the Chronicle of Hydatius: I. Septet: 923-Nov-11, 939-Jul-19, 968-Dec-22, 972-Sep-25, 978-Jun-08, 983-Mar-01, 985-Jul-20. II. Septet: 923-Nov-11, 939-Jul-19, 968-Dec-22, 991-Sep-26, 978-Jun-08, 983-Mar-01, 985-Jul-20.
