There appears to be no evidence that any author whose name has survived and who was, or may have been, a predecessor of Thucydides wrote an account of the events leading to the eclipse and death of Pausanias. On the other hand, among the writers cited by Plutarch on the flight of Themistocles and his experences in Asia are two from whom, since they belong to the fifth century, Thucydides might conceivably have derived the bulk of his information. They are Stesimbrotus of Thasos (FGrHist 107) and Charon of Lampsacus (FGrHist 107).
