The Story of Zosimus [1] (also called the Narration, [1] Apocalypse [1] or Journey of Zosimus [2]) is a Greek text of the 5th century AD.

For events after 404, Zosimus is the main source; he derived his information on Stilicho from two prior historians, whose texts he copies faithfully, although in summary. One of these historians, Eunapius , was hostile to Stilicho, and the other, Olympiodorus , was supportive, resulting in a bit of a garbled, contradictory account.
Zosimus was eventually accused of being a secret heretic and, on 17 May 1494, he was removed from the metropolitan throne on charges of heresy and sodomy. [3] He died before any trial was held. Zosimus is known for having compiled a list of banned books and written an epistle against heretics.
