(Μινουκιανός).

1. A Greek rhetorician, was a contemporary of the celebrated rhetorician Hermogenes of Tarsus (fl. A. D. 170), with whom he was at variance. This we learn from the Scholiast on Hermogenes, and thus the difficulty which Fabricius experienced (Bibl. Graec. vol. vi. p. 107). is removed, as it is evident that this Minucianus was a different person from the one following. (Schol. ad Hermog. pp. 26, 48, 49, 71, 77, 99, 177, 179, 180, 181, 200, 287; comp. Schol. ad Aphthon. p. 226, Spengel; Westermann, Gesichichte der Griech. Beredtsamkeit, § 95, n. 10.)
