Thallus
Greek historian · Writers
Thallus, perhaps a Samaritan, was an early historian who wrote in Koine Greek. He wrote a three-volume history of the Mediterranean world from before the Trojan War to the 167th Olympiad, 112-108 BC, or perhaps to the 217th Olympiad (AD 89-93) or 207th Olympiad (AD 49-52).
Thallus is read about 35 times a day, in 13 languages.

About this person
Most of his work, like the vast majority of ancient literature, has been lost, although some of his writings were quoted by the Christian author Sextus Julius Africanus in his History of the World. It is not known when he lived and wrote, but his work is quoted by Theophilus of Antioch, who died around AD 185, and most scholars date Thallus' writings to around 50 AD.
