1. A Greek grammarian, a native of Pergamus. He lived in the time of Hadrianus, and was one of the instructors of Verus. (Capitol. Ver. 2.)

Περὶ τῶν παῤ Ὁμήρψ σχημάτων ῥητορικῶν, in two books. 2. Περὶ συντάξεως λόγου Ἀττικοῦ, in five books. 3. Περὶ τῆς καθ̓ Ὅμηρον ῥητορικῆς. 4. Περὶ τοῦ Ὁμήρου καὶ Πλάτωνος συμφωνίας. 5. Ποικίλης φιλομαθίας βιβλία β̓. 6. Βίοι τραγικῶν καὶ κωμικῶν. 7. Βιβλιακὴ ἐμπειρία, in three books (containing a list of books worth getting). 8. Ὡς μόνος Ὅμηρος τῶν ἀρχαίων ἑλληνίζει. 9. Περιήγησις Περγάμου. 10. Περὶ τοῦ ἐν Περγάμῳ Σεβαστίου, in two books. 11. Περὶ τῶν Ἀθήνͅησι δικαστηρίων. 12. Περὶ τῶν Ἀθήνῃσι νόμων καὶ ἐθῶν. 13. Περὶ τῶν Περγάμου βασιλέων, in five books. 14. περὶ χρήσεως, a sort of dictionary, arranged in alphabetical order, of things in common use, words, dress, &100.15. Περὶ τῆς Ὀδυσσέως πλάνης, 16.
