DIOGENIANUS

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 282 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DIOGENIANUS , of
Heraclea
  on the Pontus (or in
Caria
 ), Greek grammarian, flourished during the reign of Hadrian. He was the author of an alphabetical lexicon, chiefly of poetical words, abridged from the
great
  lexicon (
Hope
  7Xc000-iav) of Pamphilus of Alexandria (1l. A.D. 5o) and other similar works. It was also known by the title Hepcepyo7rEV17res (for the use of "industrious poor students "). It formed the basis of the lexicon, or rather glossary, of Hesychius of Alexandria, which is described in the preface as a new edition of the
work
  of Diogenianus. We still possess a collection of
proverbs
  under his name, probably an abridgment of the collection made by himself from his lexicon (ed. by E. Leutsch and F. W. Schneidewin in Paroemiographi Graeci, i. 1839). Diogenianus was also the author of an
Anthology
  of epigrams, of treatises on rivers, lakes, fountains and promontories; and of a
list
  (with map) of all the towns in the world.
