2. A Phoenician historian, who lived before Josephus, and wrote a history of his native country, in the Phoenician tongue, which was translated into Greek by a certain Laetus, if we adopt the correction of Reinesius in the passage of Tatian, where the MSS. give Χαῖτος or Ἄσιτος (Tatian. ad v. Graec. 58. p. 128, ed. Worth; Joseph. c. Apion. 1.23; Euseb. Praep. Ev. 10.11; Vossius, de Hist. Graec. p. 504.)
