'Dictys Cretensis, supposed companion of Idomeneus at Troy and alleged author of an account of the Trojan War, fragments survive from a Greek version of the 2nd / 3rd cent. AD. The extant 'Ephemeris belli Troiani (c. 4th cent. AD), relating the Troy-saga from Cypria to Telegony is a translation of this work, by one L. Septimius, and (...) was much read in the Greekless Middle Ages.' (STEPHEN J. HARRISON in The Oxford Classical Dictionary, 3rd rev.ed. 2003, p.465).
