Parian Chronicle
The Parian Chronicle (also marble Parium or Chronicon Parium called common abbreviation Marm par ) is a chiseled in marble Greek chronological table, the 1582/1581 BC to 264/263 covers the years BC. She comes from the island of Paros and is ( with 50 and 27 entries) obtained in two fragments; a third part ( 30 entries) was lost, but the text of it is still known, so that a total of 107 entries come together. The larger part is preserved in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, the smaller part remained at its location on Paros.
The entries begin with mythical people (for example, King Cecrops ) and include more cultural than political or military events, such as life data of poets, introduction of certain religious ceremonies and origins of different forms of music and poetry.
The first part of the Parian Chronicle was discovered in 1627 and came into the collection of Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel, where he was deciphered by John Selden and published in part in Selden's work Marmora Arundeliana ( 1628). It was recorded in August Boeckh collection of Greek inscriptions Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum. The second part was not discovered until 1897.
