or GEORGIUS (Γρεγόριος s.Γεώργιος Πάρδος), archbishop of Corinth, on which account he is called in some MSS. GEORGIUS (or GREGORIUS) CORINTHUS (Κόρινθος), and, by an error of the copyist, CORITHUS (Κορίθου, in Gen.) and CORUTUS (Κορύτου, in Gen.), or CORYTUS, a Greek writer on grammar of uncertain date.
The only clue that we have to the period in which he lived is a passage in an unpublished work of his, De Constructione Orationis, in which he describes Georgius Pisida [GEORGIUS,, No. 44], Nicolaus Callicles, and Theodorus Prodromus as "more recent writers of Iambic verse."Nicolaus and Theodorus belong to the reign of Alexius I. Comnenus (A. D. 1081-1118), and therefore Pardus must belong to a still later period; but his vague use of the term "more recent," as applied to writers of such different periods as the seventh and eleventh or twelfth centuries, precludes us from determining how near to the reign of Alexius he is to be placed. It was long supposed that Corinthus was his name; but Allatius, in his Diatriba de Georgiis, pointed out that Pardus was his name and Corinthus that of his see; on his occupation of which he appears to have disused his name and designated himself by his bishopric.
