Berossus
text:
Berossus or Berosus was an early-3rd-century BCE Hellenistic-era Babylonian writer, a priest of Bel Marduk and astronomer who wrote in the Koine Greek language. His original works, including the Babyloniaca, have been lost but fragmentarily survive in some quotations, especially in the writings of the fourth-century CE Christian writer Eusebius. Berossus has recently been identified with Bēl-reʾû-šunu, a high priest of the Esagila Temple mentioned in a document from 258 BCE.
