Historical Gentile Scripts Our main focus is a Gentile called Thallus, at about AD 52 he composed a tracing of the history of Greece and its relations with Asia starting from the Trojan War to his own time. Josephus made mention of a Samaritan to whom he was identified (Ant. xviii. 6. 4) as being a freedman of Emperor Tiberius. One another hand Julius Africanus, a Christian essayist on chronology about AD 221 who knew the compositions of Thallus explains that while examining the murkiness which fell upon the land amid the execution of Christ: Thallus, simplifies the darkness as an eclipse of the sun, but that seems irrational, on the grounds that a solar eclipse cannot occur at the season of a full moon, and Christ died during the Paschal full moon.
