Ancient Greek writer

Aethlius (Ancient Greek: Ἀέθλιος) of Samos was the author of a work titled Samian Annals (Ὧροι Σάμιοι),^[1] the fifth book of which is quoted by Athenaeus,^[2] although he expresses a doubt about the genuineness of the work.^[3] Aethlius is also referred to by Clement of Alexandria and ^[4] Eustathius,^[5] and in the Etymologicum Magnum.^[6] His dates are uncertain, but it is probable he lived some time in the 5th or 4th century BC.^[7]
