This two-volume edition (with commentary in Latin) of the surviving
fragments of the works of minor Greek historians was published by
German philologist Ludwig August Dindorf (1805-71) in 1870-1.
Brother of the better known scholar K.W. Dindorf, Ludwig
collaborated with him for nearly thirty years on an edition of
Robert Estienne's Thesaurus linguae graecae, and published on
several Greek historians, but led such a reclusive life that his
name was sometimes thought to be a pseudonym. Many of the authors
in this edition are classed as 'minor' largely because so little of
their output has survived, usually as citations in later Byzantine
works. Volume 2 contains the account (intact, but apparently
incomplete) of the reign of Justinian by poet and historian
Agathias (6th century CE), and fragments of the works of Menander
Protector (so called because of his military post at court), who
continued the narrative from 558 to 582.
