David, a Greek historian, a native, as some relate, of Paphlagonia, who lived about the end of the 6th century. He wrote The Life of St Ignatius, patriarch of Constantinople, which was translated into Latin by Frederic Mutius bishop of Termoli: he composed also several panegyrics in honour of the apostles and other saints, which are inserted in the last continuation of the Bibliotheca Patrum by Combesis.

furnamed Serron, deacon of the church of Constantinople, cotemporary with Theophylact in the 11th century, and afterwards bishop of Heraclea, wrote a Catena upon the book of Job, compiled from passages of several of the fathers, which was printed at London in folio, 1637. We have also, by the same writer, several catene upon the Psalms and Canticles, Bafil, 1552; together with a Commentary on the poems of Gregory Nazianzen.

Arhominates, a Greek historian of the 13th century, called Coniates, as being born at Chone, or Colossus, in Phrygia. He was employed in several considerable affairs at the court of Constantinople; and when that city was taken by the French in 1204, he withdrew, with a young girl taken from the enemy, to Nice in Bithynia, where he married his captive, and died in 1206. He wrote a History, or Annals, from the death of Alexius Comnenus in the year 1118, to that of Badouin in 1205; of which work we have a Latin translation by Jerome Wolfus, printed at Bafil in 1557; and it has been inserted in the body of the Byzantine Historians, printed in France at the Louvre.
