John Malalas
(重定向自Malalas)
John Malalas or Malelas (Greek:Ἰωάννης Μαλάλας, Iōánnēs Malálas; c.491 – 578) was a Greek chronicler from Antioch. Malalas is probably from the ܱAramaic word (ܡܰܠܳܠܰܐ malolo) for "rhetor", "orator"; it is first applied to him by John of Damascus. The form Malelas is later, first appearing in Constantine VII.
