Nobody contributed a millisecond. Around 300 BC, the Babylonians, who worked in base 60 rather than base 10, divided the day into 60. Each unit was divided into 60, and again into 60 and so on. Conceptually, this gave them an accuracy of around 2 microseconds. "Conceptually", because they had no instruments able to measure time with anything like that precision - an hour was probably the best that they could reliably measure.
In the year 1000, al-Biruni, a Persian scholar was the first to use the term second. He divided the day into hours, 1/60 of each were minutes, 1/60 of each were seconds, 1/60 of each were thirds, 1/60 of each were fourths, The last of these was 1/3600 seconds or 0.277... recurring milliseconds.
The introduction of the decimal system brought in the prefices for thousandths (milli-) and millionths (micro-) etc, and the sequence of 60ths were abandoned.
