    • 1566, John Knox, The History of the Reformation in Scotland:
      The most exact chronologers tell us that Christ was born in October, and not in December.
    • 1907, John L. Myres, “The 'list of Thalassocracies' in Eusebius: a reply”, in The Journal of Hellenic Studies[1], volume 27, page 129:
      My whole contention is, in face, that we know enough, by this time, from Egyptian and other non-Hellenistic sources, to be able to assert that neigher Eusebius, nor Trogus, nor any other Hellenistic or Graeco-Roman chronologer knew anything of value about such matters as the foundation of Trapezus []
