Λέξεις παντοδαπαὶ κατὰ στοιχεῖονΛέξεις παντοδαπαὶ κατὰ στοιχεῖον, in five books,
being an abridgement of the Lexicon of Pamphilus. [PAMPHILUS.]
His Lexicon seems to have been much used by Suidas and Hesychius : and indeed some suppose
the Lexicon of Hesychius to have been almost entirely taken from that of Diogenianus. A
portion of it is still extant, containing a collection of proverbs, under the title
Παροιμίαι δημώδεις ἐκ τῆς Διογενιανοῦ συναγωγῆς. The work
is in alphabetical order, and contains 775 proverbs.
Editions
The Lexicon was first printed by Schottus, with the proverbs of Zenobius and
Suidas, in his παροιμιαὶ Ἑλληνικαί, Antv. 1612,
4to.Better editions have been published by Gaisford, in his Paroemiographi Graeci, Oxon. 1836, and by Leutsch and Schneidewinn
in their Corpus Paroemiogr. Graec. There are passages in this
work, which, unless they are interpolations, would point to a later date than that assigned
by Suidas.

An Anthology of epigramsAn Anthology of epigrams,
τῶν Ζωπυρίωνος ἐπιγραμματων
ἀνθόλογιον; and several geographical works. Suidas is not certain whether he was
a native of the Pontic Heracleia, or whether he was not the same person as the physician
Diogenianus of Heracleia Albace in Caria. Nothing is known of the contents or arrangement of
his Anthology.
