Artabanus (or Artapanes)

Artabanus (Or Artapanes)

a historian, mentioned by Eusebius (Prcep. Evang. 9:18, 23, 27), is the author of Ι᾿ουδαϊκὰ, or περὶ Ι᾿ουδαίων. From the fragments-which are mentioned by Eusebius, and which treat on the history of Abraham, Joseph, and Moses-we may assume that he was of Jewish origin. (B. P.)
