Daniel bar Maryam (or Mariam) was a historian and chronographer of the Church of the East who lived in the 7th century.
[1] Daniel wrote a four-volume Ecclesiastical History in Syriac that does not survive, but is mentioned by the Patriarch Timothy I, Pseudo-George of Arbela and Ishoʿdad of Merv.
[5] It is one of three lost 7th-century histories that the anonymous author of the Chronicle appears to have had access to, along with those of Elias of Merv and Bar Sahde.
[7] Daniel is quoted on the successors of Demetrianus: a certain Azdaq in Gundeshapur and Paul of Samosata at Antioch.
[8] According to ʿAbdishoʿ bar Brikha's list of Syriac authors, composed in the 14th century, Daniel also wrote an exposition of the Chronicon of Eusebius.
