	Manetho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was probably a priest of the sun god Ra at Heliopolis (according to Syncellus, he was the chief priest), and was also considered an authority on the cult of Sarapis (a derivation of Osiris-Apis).
		Eusebius in turn was preserved by Jerome in his Latin translation, an Armenian translation, and by Syncellus.
		Syncellus rejected both Manetho's and Berossos' incredible time-spans, as well as the efforts of other commentators to harmonise their numbers with scripture.

	George Syncellus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Syncellus (died after 810) was a Byzantine chronicler and ecclesiastic.
		He had lived many years in Palestine as a monk, and came to Constantinople to fill the important post of syncellus to Tarasius, patriarch of Constantinople.
		The syncellus served as the patriarch's private secretary, was generally a bishop, and was the most important ecclesiastical person in the capital after the patriarch himself, and often the patriarch's successor.

		'Syncellus' was a title which in the early Church was given to those monks or clerics who shared quarters with their bishops, and who served primarily as deacons in the offices of the mass and were often presumed to succeed the bishop at his death.
		Syncellus had apparently intended to bring the work down to his own day but was prevented by his death in 810, and his labours were later completed by his associate Theophanes Confessor.
		Additionally, Syncellus is valuable for the allusions he presents for his own travels in and around contemporary Palestine, and there is even a possibility that the author may have access to a number of sources (now lost) in the original Syriac as well.

		The Chronography of Syncellus was translated into Latin already at the beginning of the 9th century, together with the Chronographies of the Confessor (752-818) and others by Anastasius, surnamed Bibliothecarius, who, after having been cardinal and anti-pope and thrice excommunicated, became papal librarian under Hadrian II and John VIII.
		As far as the west is concerned, direct quotations from Syncellus could be found at the Chronography of all Times, the Thesaurus Temporum.
		Nevertheless, in the light of the proximity of dates, it cannot be ruled out that he had seen, read or owned a Chronography or a manuscript quoting the Greek Syncellus.

		This corruption is possible but unlikely, since the symbols are sufficiently different in the placement of strokes that such a mistake requires an unusual explanation (it would make more sense to miswrite 167 as 217, rather than the other way around).
		The context of this chapter may be hinted at in the final sentence: it seems to be part of a chronological proof of the "seventy sevens" prophency in Daniel 9, showing how secular history aligns with sacred.
		But Syncellus omits material before and after this chapter, and thus important context may be lost.

		But in spite of its religious bias and dry and uninteresting character, the fragments of ancient writers and apocryphal books preserved in it render it specially valuable.
		For instance, considerable portions of the original text of the Chronicle of Eusebius have been restored by the aid of Syncellus.
		His chief authorities were Annianus of Alexandria (5th century) and Panodorus, an Egyptian monk, who wrote about the year 400 and drew largely from Eusebius, Dexippus and Julius Africanus.

	Thallus: an Analysis
		George Syncellus, a 9th-century monk, composed a world chronicle, quoting verbatim from numerous previous chroniclers, one of whom being the 3rd-century Christian chronicler Julius Africanus.
		It appears that some copyist was copying or reading this passage in either Africanus or Syncellus and remembered the Phlegon connection, writing it as a note to the side or in between the lines.
		Without further data, we might say that Syncellus mistook the marginal note of a previous owner of his copy of Africanus, or made the note himself while a later copier of Syncellus mistook it as text, or that the note and the mistake happened entirely before or after the involvement of Syncellus.

He treated of the time from the year 284-813, and made use of material already prepared by Syncellus, probably also the extracts from the works of Socrates, Sozomenus, and Theodoret, made by Theodore Lector, and the city chronicle of Constantinople.
		The work consists of two parts, the first giving the history, arranged according to years, the other containing chronological tables, full of inaccuracies, and therefore of little value.

		Then rather abruptly Syncellus starts with his account on Shapuhr's expedition of 259/60.
		He narrates the story of Valerian's capture and describes in few words the sequel of it - the invasion by Shapuhr of Syria and Asia Minor.
		It is probable therefore that Syncellus found in his source the description of two campaigns of Shapuhr and endeavoured to give a short description of them both.

		It appears in a chart comparing the "dynasty of gods" with a Chaldean king-list and the ten antediluvian patriarchs of Genesis.
		It also might be pointed out that when comparing all available "fragments" of Manetho's Aegyptiaca (i.e., Josephus, Eusebius, Africanus, Syncellus, and Castor) other minor differences are also noticed.
		Judging from these it appears that certain ancient authors were less than careful with their sources.

		In works like Homer's, however, assuming the epics/poems went through a long oral tradition, interpolations are unlikely to be discovered once it was set in writing.
		Looking at Manetho though, we end up comparing the texts of Africanus (transmitted by Syncellus), and Eusebius' account in 3 transmissions (Armenian, Syncellus, Jerome), and even these do not necessarily agree.
		Syncellus was clearly aware of the discrepancies, so his account putting Eusebius and Africanus side by side as a comparison is probably reliable enough.
