Of Sardes (c. 345-420), educated at Athens, and spent the rest of his life in his native town as a physician and rhetorician. His “historical memoirs” deal with events from 270 to 414. He was also the author of some extant Lives of the Sophists. He was a bitter enemy of Christianity, and a devoted adherent of neo-Platonism. In the “second edition” of the Chronicle much that was offensive to Christianity was omitted.
