CHARISIUS, FLAVIUS SOSIPATER , Latin grammarian, flourished about the See also:middle of the 4th See also:century A.D. He was probably an See also:African by See also:birth, summoned to See also:Constantinople to take the See also:place of Euanthius, a learned commentator on See also:Terence. The Ars Grammatica of Charisius, in five books, addressed to his son (not a See also:Roman, as the See also:preface shows), has come down to us in a mutilated See also:condition, the beginning of the first, See also:part of the See also:fourth, and the greater part of the fifth See also:book having been lost. The See also:work, which is merely a compilation, is valuable as containing excerpts from the earlier writers on See also:grammar, who are in many cases mentioned by name—Q. Remmius See also:Palaemon, C. See also:Julius See also:Romanus, Cominianus. The best edition is by H. Keil, Grammatici See also:Latini, i. (1857); see also See also:article by G. Gotz in Pauly-Wissowa's Realencyclopadie, iii. 2 1899) ; See also:Teuffel-See also:Schwabe, Hist. of Roman Literature (Eng. trans.), 419, 1. 2; Frohde, in Jahr. f.

Philol., Y8 Suppl. (1892), 567-672.
