(). There are two persons of this name in the
history of Constantinople: the one is called an historian, and must have lived at the time of
Constantine the Great. He is styled chief secretary of the emperor, and a sophist; but nothing
further is known. (Georg. Codinus, Select. de Orig. Constant. 17.) The
second was a friend of Agathius the historian, who undertook to write the history of his own
time on the advice of Eutychianus. (Agath. Prooem.)
