Hieronymus of Cardia

PSI Inv. 6 recto: a second-century CE papyrus fragment preserving the opening of Diodorus's Bibliotheca Historica (I.1.5–11) — among the earliest surviving manuscript witnesses to the work, almost certainly from the first column of the roll. LDAB 10472; MP³ 342.01.

Bibliotheca Historica

Reading companion for Diodorus Siculus's Bibliotheca Historica — the most ambitious universal history to survive from antiquity, the sole continuous Greek narrative of the wars of the Diadochi, and the largest single repository of lost Hellenistic historiography.
