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.)

He was born at Stridon in the Roman province of Dalmatia, the exact location of the city remain unknown. His Chronicon was written around 380 in Constantinople, and is an incomplete Latin translation of the chonological tables of second book of Eusebius of Caesarea’s Chronicon, which was written in Greek.
