The king lists of Jerome

Saint Jerome (c. 347–420) Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus was a Roman Christian priest and historian, perhaps most famous for translating the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate)

The Chronicle was written around 380 in Constantinople, and is an incomplete Latin translation of the chonological tables of second book of Eusebius’ Chronicon, which was written in Greek. Being written in Latin, it made the chronology of the ancient world accessible to the Roman world, which helped it become popular and over the centuries many copies were made while the original Greek text was forgotten. Many later authors took upon themselves to add their own updates of world history to the chronicle.
