Ὁμιλίαι εἰς ἈφθόνιονUnder his name we possess an extensive commentary on Aphthonius. The commentary bears the
title
Ὁμιλίαι εἰς Ἀφθόνιον, and is extremely diffuse,
so that it occupies upwards of 400 pages. It is full of long quotations from Plato,
Thucydides, Diodorus, Plutarch, and from several of the Christian Fathers. The explanations
given seem to be derived front earlier commentators of Aphthonius.
