Apollonios Eidographos
Ancient writer · Died 175 BC
Apollonius Eidographus was a writer referred to by the Scholiast on Pindar respecting a contest in which Hiero won the prize. Some writers have thought he was a poet, but from the Etymologicum Magnum, it is probable that he was some learned grammarian.
Apollonios Eidographos is read about 2 times a day, in 8 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
