I want How to cite the index … but the author is from theto a modern translation of a medieval erawork?

I am citing the Indexindex from Niketas Choniates’ book O City of Byzantium translated by Harry J. Magoulias. Obviously, Magoulias did not translate the index, he is the original author of that section of the book, so it would not be accurate to cite Choniates if I am referencing the index. As of now, I wrote this:

Harry J. Magoulias, “Index,” in O City of Byzantium, pp.425, 433.

Harry J. Magoulias, “Index,” in O City of Byzantium, pp.425, 433.

Note that I had already written a long note for that book previously.

Further note that the book is available on Academia.edu.
