See also:ZONARAS, JOANNES (See also:JOHN) , See also:Byzantine chronicler and theologian, flourished at See also:Constantinople in the 12th See also:century. Under Alexius I. See also:Comnenus he held the offices of See also:commander of tlae bodyguard and private secretary to the See also:emperor, but in the succeeding reign he retired to Hagia Glykeria (one of the Princes' Islands), where he spent the See also:rest of his See also:life in See also:writing books. His most important See also:work, 'E7r1royi 'Io-ropcwv (compendium of See also:history), in eighteen books, extends from the creation of the See also:world to the See also:death of Alexius (1118). The earlier See also:part is largely See also:drawn from See also:Josephus; for See also:Roman history he chiefly followed Dio See also:Cassius, whose first twenty books are not otherwise known to us. His history was continued by Nicetas See also:Acominatus. Various ecclesiastical See also:works have been attributed to Zonaras—commentaries on the Fathers and the poems of See also:- GREGORY
- GREGORY (Gregorius)

Gregory of Nazianzus; lives of See also:Saints; and a See also:treatise on the See also:Apostolical Canons—and there is no See also:reason to doubt their genuineness. The See also:lexicon, however, which has been handed down under his name (ed. J. A. H. Tittmann 18o8) is probably the work of a certain See also:Antonius Monachus (See also:Stein's See also:Herodotus, ii. 479 f.).
