ARCADIUS , of See also:

Antioch, See also:Greek grammarian, flourished in the 2nd See also:century A.U. According to Suidas, he wrote See also:treatises on See also:orthography and syntax, and an onomaticon (vocabulary), described as a wonderful See also:production. An See also:epitome of the See also:great See also:work of Herodian on See also:general See also:prosody in twenty books, wrongly attributed to Arcadius, is probably the work of See also:Theodosius of See also:Alexandria or a grammarian named See also:Aristodemus. This epitome (Hepi Tbvwv) only includes nineteen books of the See also:original work; the twentieth is the work of a forger of the 16th century. Although meagre and carelessly put together, it is valuable, since it preserves the See also:order of the original and thus affords a trustworthy See also:foundation for its reconstruction. See also:Text by See also:Barker, 1823; See also:Schmidt, 1860; see also See also:Galland, De Arcadii qui fertur libro de accentibus (1882).
