Πάρθαξ ὁ Ἱστορικός (Parthax the Historian)
Life No biographical information for the historian Parthax exists in the standard scholarly sources [1–8]. The name is unattested among known Greek historians of the Roman era. Proposed activity in the 1st–2nd centuries CE remains unverified.
Works Parthax is credited with a single work, now lost. No title or content is recorded in the extant literature.
Significance Parthax’s absence from the historical record precludes an assessment of his significance. He is not connected to any known events or historiographical traditions.
