Damo'critus

（*Damo/kritos), a Greek historian of uncertain date, who, according to Suidas (s.v.) wrote two works, one on the drawing up of armies, and the other on the Jews, of whom he related that they worshipped the head of an ass, and that every seventh year they sacrificed to their god some foreigner who had fallen into their hands. Eudocia (p. 128) further attributes to him Αἰθιοπλκπν λ̔στορίαν καὶ ά̀λλα, but nothing further is known about him.

[L.S]

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
