He doesn't get a lot of publicity because the Hellenistic age is still pretty overlooked in Greek history, and his work is mostly fragmentary. There's a decent penguin edition of the surviving portions and excerpts.
I haven't read him very much in Greek, though. Maybe the Greek is hard because he was Arcadian (not Attic), or because he translates so many Latin terms into Greek.
