A speculative explanation connects Greek fire with materials obtained from Cornwall. The proposed chronology links the loss of a remaining Byzantine supply connection with an inability to continue production. This is then used to suggest an Ottoman motive for renewed English trade. No ingredient, mine record or supporting document is identified in the exchange, so the explanation remains a hypothesis rather than an established account of Greek fire.
