      grammarians of antiquity. He was the son of Apollonius Dyscolus [<hi rend="smallcaps">APOLLONIUS</hi>], and was born at Alexandria. From that place he appears to have removed to
      Rome, where he gained the favour of the emperor Marcus Aurelius, to whom he dedicated his work
      on prosody. No further biographical particulars are known respecting him.</p><div><head>Works</head><p>The estimation in which he was held by subsequent grammarians was very great. Priscian
       styles him <hi rend="ital">maximus auctor artis grammaticae.</hi> He was a very voluminous
       writer; but to give any thing like a correct list of his works (of which we possess only a
       few fragmentary portions) is very difficult; as in numerous instances it is impossible to
       determine whether the titles given by writers who quoted or epitomised his works were the
       titles of distinct treatises, or only of portions of some of his larger works. The following
       appear to have been distinct works :--</p><div><head>1. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Ὀρθογραφίας</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Ὀρθολραφίας</foreign>, in three books, treating of
         <foreign xml:lang="grc">ποσότης, ποιότης</foreign>, and <foreign xml:lang="grc">σύνταξις</foreign>.</p></div><div><head>2. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Συντάξεως Στοιχείων</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Συντάξεως Στοιχείων</foreign>.</p></div><div><head>3. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Παθῶν</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Παθῶν</foreign>, on the changes undergone by syllables
        and letters.</p></div><div><head>4. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Συμπόδιον</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Συμπόδιον</foreign>, written during a residence at
        Puteoli.</p></div><div><head>5. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Γάμου καὶ Συμβιώσεως</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Γάμου καὶ Συμβιώσεως</foreign>.</p></div><div><head>6. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Προτάσεις</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Προτάσεις</foreign>, of which we know something through the
         <foreign xml:lang="grc">Λίσεις Προτάσεων τῶν Ἡρωδιανοῖ</foreign>, written by the
        grammarian Orus.</p></div><div><head>7. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ὀνοματικά</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Ὀνοματικά</foreign>. All the above works have entirely
        perished. The passages where they are quoted, with the names of some other treatises of less
        note, will be found in Fabricius (<hi rend="ital">Bibl. Graec.</hi> vol. vi. p. 282,
        &amp;c.).</p></div><div><head>8. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἐπιμερισμοί</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἐπιμερισμοί</foreign>. This work was devoted to the
        explanation of difficult, obscure, and doubtful words, and of peculiar forms found in
        Homer.</p><div><head>Editions</head><p>A meagre compilation from this highly valuable work was published from Parisian MSS. by
         J. F. Boissonade, London, 1819.</p><p>Another abstract, which appears to give a better idea of the original work, is the
          <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἐπιμερισμοί</foreign>, published in Cramer's <hi rend="ital">Anecdota Gr. Oxon.</hi> vol. i.</p><p>Several important quotations from this work are also found scattered in different parts
         of the scholia on Homer. The <foreign xml:lang="grc">Σχηματισμοὶ Ὁμηρικοί</foreign>,
         appended by Sturz to his edition of the Etymologicum Gudianum, appears also to belong to
         the <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἐπιμερισμοί</foreign> of Herodianus. An <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ὁμηρική Προσῳδία</foreign>, of which we find mention, may also have
         been a portion of it; but, like the <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἀττικὴ
          Προσῳδία</foreign>, and <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἀνόμαλος Προσῳδία</foreign>
         (neither of which is extant), more probably belonged to the great work on prosody.</p></div></div><div><head>9. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἡ καθʼ Ὅλου</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Ἡ καθʼ Ὅλου</foreign>, or <foreign xml:lang="grc">Καθολικὴ Προσῳδία</foreign> (called also <foreign xml:lang="grc">Μεγάλη
         Προσῳδία</foreign>), in twenty books. This work also was held in great repute by the
        successors of Herodianus. It seems to have embraced not merely prosody, but most of those
        subjects now included in the etymological portion of grammar. An abstract of it was made by
        the grammarian Aristodemus, which, like the original work has <pb n="430"/> perished.
        Another epitome is extant in a MS. in the Bodleian library (<hi rend="ital">Cod.
         Barocc.</hi> clxxix.), and an index of the subjects of the different books in <hi rend="ital">Cod. Matrit.</hi> xxxvii. The treatise <foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ
         Τόνων</foreign>, published under the name of Arcadius, but which was compiled by a later
        grammarian, Theodosius of Byzantium, seems also to be an extract from the <foreign xml:lang="grc">Προσῳδία</foreign> of Herodianus.</p></div><div><head>10. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Μονήρους Λέξεως</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Μονήρους Λέξεως</foreign>, on monosyllabic words.</p><div><head>Editions</head><p>Published by Dindorf. (<hi rend="ital">Grammat. Graec.</hi> vol. i.) This is probably the
         only complete treatise of Herodianus that we possess.</p></div></div><div><head>11. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Διχρόνων</foreign></head><div><head>Editions</head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ Διχρόνων</foreign>, portions of which are extant in
          <bibl>Bekker (<hi rend="ital">Anecd.</hi> p. 1438)</bibl>, and <bibl>Cramer (<hi rend="ital">Anecd. Oxon.</hi> iii. p. 282, &amp;c.)</bibl>.</p></div></div><div><head>Other works</head><p>The names of a few other treatises are enumerated by Fabricius, but it is very likely that
        many of them were merely portions of greater works. The following fragments (either of
        distinct treatises or of different portions of his larger works) have also been
        preserved:</p><div><head>1. <foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ τῶν ἀριθμῶν</foreign></head><p><foreign xml:lang="grc">Περὶ τῶν ἀριθμῶν</foreign>.</p><div><head>Editions</head><p><bibl>In Gaza's <hi rend="ital">Introd. Gramm.</hi> Venice, 1495, and in the glossaries
