ἱστοριῶν παραδόξων συναγωγὴ (
Historiae Mirabiles)
We possess by him a work called ἱστοριῶν παραδόξων
συναγωγὴ (
Historiae Mirabiles), which consists for
the most part of extracts from the " Auscultationes" attributed to Aristotle, and from
similar works of Callimachus, Timaeus, and others which are now lost. It is only the
circumstance that he has thus preserved extracts from other and better works, that gives any
value to this compilation of strange stories, which is evidently made without skill or
judgment.
