Eustathius of Epiphania (Ancient Greek: Εὐστάθιος Ἐπιφανεύς, died after 518)[1] was a sixth-century Byzantine historian.
The chronicle was used by later historians, but only a few fragments remain preserved in Evagrius Scholasticus, the Suda and John Malalas.
According to Evagrius, Eustathius's work was an epitome (a compilation, not an abridgement[2]) of pagan and ecclesiastical writers.
Eustathius is also known to have compiled an epitome of Josephus (Historikon of the Judaean Archaeology by Iosepos).
It begins with Adam and Eve and reaches to the reign of Vespasian and Titus.
