Philippicarum Libri XLIV, in the preface of which the author informs us that his book was

Trogus Pompeius..."
Brill's New Pauly: "M. Iunian(i)us I. Author of an Epitome historiarum
Philippicarum, around 400 AD, compiler of an extract from the lost Historiae Philippicae of
Pompeius Trogus (Epitome historiarum Philippicarum). He does not strive for a uniform
paraphrase: in the interests of brevitas the anecdotal and the exemplary are emphasized so
that a kind of anthology of the corresponding, original extracts is given
concrete details
(geographical digressions, chronology, prosopography etc.) are avoided...." from Schmidt,
