Greek

  • Chronicle (general)
Remarks:
Irenaeus is usually identified with Irenaeus of Lyon, even though there are no clear points of contact with his oeuvre. Some of the material ascribed to him may actually be of a fifth-century date. Either the references to Irenaeus are fictitious or there was indeed a fifth-century chronicler called Irenaeus.
