Eutychius (876-940) was a Melchite patriarch of Alexandria, originally named Sa'id ibn Batriq. He is most widely known as the author of a history of the world from Adam to 938 (Nazm al-Gawahir (Chaplet of Pearls) in Arabic, translated Eutychii Historia universalis in Latin or the Annales). It was a source for Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
