Sebeos

Sebeos 

a seventh-century Armenian historian, author of the History of Heraclius, a work dealing with the reign of the Byzantine emperor Heraclius (610–41) and subsequent events up to the year 661. Sebeos’ history describes the wars between Persia and Byzantium in the seventh century, Arab military campaigns, the internal situation in Armenia, and other subjects. In addition, two sections of the work deal with the period of Armenian history known from legends and with the history of the first to fifth centuries. Some scholars believe that these sections, which are known as the Primary History of Armenia, are not really part of Sebeos’ work.
