Chronicle

It is impossible to identify or date this author. It should be noticed, however, that from Syriac sources we gather a range of names of chroniclers who supposedly wrote from a national tradition (Jewish, Zoroastrian, Chaldaean: see the entries on Damaris, Zamardos and Qombaros). Even if these authors are fictional, they represent a tendency in chronography to draw (at least in pretence) on sources from beyond one's own tradition.
