Malalas’ Sources for the Contemporary Books
231
the original source for the less credible Martian propaganda stories that the prudent
Malalas rejected. This possibility, even probability, needs to be noted given that Tread-
gold’s The Early Byzantine Historians is likely to become the most widely read general
book on Byzantine Historians for some time with its huge praise for Eustathius (of
whom virtually nothing survives), and its unjustified rejection of Malalas as a charla-
tan and a fraud. The truth may well be close to exactly the opposite.
