 Zosimus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zosimus, Greek historical writer, flourished at Constantinople during the second half of the 5th century A.D. According to Photius, he was a comes ("count"), and held the office of "advocate" of the imperial treasury.
The style is characterized by Photius as concise, clear and pure; other historians have judged his accounts confused or muddled, and valuable only because he preserves information from lost histories.
The historian's object was to account for the decline of the Roman Empire from the pagan point of view, and in this undertaking he at various points treated the Christians with some unfairness; at the same time, Zosimus is the only non-Christian source for much of what he reports.

Here she had lived absolutely alone for forty-seven years, subsisting apparently on herbs, when a priest and monk, named Zosimus, who after the custom of his brethren had come out from his monastery to spend Lent in the desert, met her and learned from her own lips the strange and romantic story of her life.
She then charged Zosimus to come in the course of a year to the spot where he had first met her in the desert, adding that he would find her then in what condition God might ordain.

 Zosimus
Zosimus was an avowed pagan (clearly not just another Byzantine), not hiding his animosity towards the Christian church, because of which he was mostly neglected by the later Christian medieval scribe.
If Zosimus, as it seems, wrote in the first decade of the 6th century, it is hard to imagine he did not write about later events.
Zosimus is very clear that Constantine is the culprit, but he is not clear about the subsequent status of Britain: independent or waiting for help from the legitimate emperor – Honorius.

The Africans had attended too easily, continues St. Zosimus, in the fervor of their faith, to the letters of these two bishops, and he proves from Scripture that even the wise may err through want of caution.
Doubtless this document was seen by some of the Fathers of the African Council, with whose letter it was sent to Rome, and its doctrine as to the Papal prerogative cannot reasonably be supposed different to their belief.
As a fact, nothing could be more generous than the way in which he repaired the error of his kind heart had prompted, for to his tractoria he appended the constitutions of the African council, to be signed with it by all the bishops of the world.
