• Niketas or Nicetas Choniates (Greek: Νικήτας Χωνιάτης, ca. 1155 to 1217), whose real surname was Akominatos
(Ἀκομινάτος), was a Greek Byzantine government official and historian – like his brother Michael Akominatos, whom he
accompanied to Constantinople from their birthplace Chonae (from which came his nickname,”Choniates”meaning”person
from Chonae"). Nicetas wrote a history of the Eastern Roman Empire from 1118 to 1207. His theological work,
(Thesaurus Orthodoxae Fidei), although extant in a complete form in manuscripts, has been published only in part. It is
one of the chief authorities for the heresies and heretical writers of the 12th century.
