Callicrates
3. A Greek historian who lived in and after the time of the emperor Aurelian. He was a native of Tyre, and wrote the history of Aurelian. Vopiscus (Aurel. 4), who has preserved a few fragments of the work, describes Callicrates as by far the most learned writer among the Greeks of his time.
