The work was composed divided into two parts. The first part (Greek,
Chronographia, "Annals") gives a summary of universal history from the sources, arranged according to nations. The second part (Greek,
Chronikoi kanones, "Chronological Canons") furnishes a synchronism of the historical material in parallel columns, the equivalent of a parallel
timeline, where each line is a year. It is the longest preserved list of
Olympic victors, containing however mainly the
stadion (running race) winners from 776 B.C. to A.D. 217. These tables have been completely preserved in a
Latin translation by Jerome and both parts are still extant in an Armenian translation. The work may be reconstructed from later chronographers of the
Byzantine era, especially
George Syncellus. ==See also==
