Note 550 — PHOTIUS BIBLIOTHECA OR MYRIOBIBLON[6] (continued 4)
John Henry Freese translation
His history, probably written between 450-501, really begins with the death of Commodus (192) and ends at 410, just before Alaric’s siege of Rome. He is an extremely bigoted heathen, fond of the old mythological legends, oracles, prodigies, and everything marvellous, ignorant of geography, and pays no attention to chronology. But the work is valuable as mainly compiled from trustworthy contemporary authorities (see Cod. LXXX).
