(), the author of two epigrams in the Greek
Anthology (Brunck, Anal. vol. ii. p. 346; Jacobs, Anth.
Graec. vol. iii. p. 56, xiii. p. 938). Jacobs supposes him to be the rhetorician of
Emisa, mentioned by Suidas (s. v.), who lived in Rome in the reign of
Severus, and died at Athens at the age of sixty, and who was the uncle of the celebrated
critic Longinus. He is constantly confounded with the distinguished Roman orator, M. Cornelius
Fronto, the tutor of M. Antoninus. (See Ruhnken, Dissert. Philol. de
Longino, §iii. p. 6, Opusc. p. 491.)
