'''Berossus''' the [[Chaldean]] was a Chaldean historian from presumably the regions of Babylonia during the third century BC who wrote in Greek.
His only known work ''The Babylonika'' exists today only in the form of quotations from other authors who are known to be referencing his work and to then compile these together in an attempt to recreate something like Berossus' original full text such as I.P. Cory's 1873 work ''The Ancient Fragments'' included below.
This work is still being typed out and link added.

"[[Nebuchodonosor]], after he had begun to build the abovementioned wall, fell sick, and departed this life, when he had reigned forty-three years; whereupon his son [[Amel-Marduk|Evilmerodachus]] obtained the kingdom. He governed public affairs in an illegal and improper manner, and by means of a plot laid against him by [[Neriglissoorus]], his sister's husband, was slain when he had reigned but two years.
"After his death [[Neriglissoorus]], who had conspired against him, succeeded him in the kingdom, and reigned four years.
"His son [[Laborosoarchodus]] obtained the kingdom through he was but a child, and kept it nine months; but by reason of the evil practices he exhibited, a plot was laid against him by his friends, and he was tormented to death.
"After his death, the conspiritors assembled, and by common consent put the crown upon the head of [[Nabonnedus]], a man of [[Babylon]], and one of the leaders of that insurrection. In his reign it was that the walls of the city of [[Babylon]] were curiously built with burnt brick and bitumen.
