Notes:	This work is essentially a timeline, running from the birth of Abraham to Eusebius' own day. It gives a table of world history by region, highlighting the Jewish people and then the church. This work is traditionally dated prior to 300 (Barnes places the first edition at 277 in Constantine and Eusebius), but R.W. Burgess argues, based on internal references to later writings and events that it was actually written between 306 and 311, and that there was no edition prior to this time. This dating makes the Chronicle more apologetic in character than is usually noted. See "The dates and editions of Eusebius' 'Chronici canones' and 'Historia ecclesiastica'."
