DOSITHEUS MAGISTER

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 438 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DOSITHEUS MAGISTER , Greek grammarian, flourished at Rome in the 4th century A.D. He was the author of a Greek
translation
  of a Latin grammar, intended to assist the Greek-speaking inhabitants of the
empire
  in learning Latin. The
translation
 , at first word for word, becomes less frequent, and finally is discontinued altogether. The Latin grammar used was based on the same authorities as those of Charisius and Diomedes, which accounts for the many points of similarity. Dositheus contributed very little of his own. Some Greek-Latin exercises by an unknown writer of the 3rd century, to be learnt by heart and translated, were added to the grammar. They are of considerable value as illustrating the social
life
  of the period and the history of the Latin language. Of these `Ep,unvevara (Inter pretamenta) , the third book, containing a collection of words and phrases from everyday conversation (KaOleptvil 6 uXia) has been preserved. A further appendix consisted of Anecdotes, Letters and Rescripts of the emperor Hadrian; fables of
Aesop
 ; extracts from Hyginus; a history of the Trojan War, abridged from the Iliad; and a legal fragment, Hepi iX vOepiavewv We manumissionibus).
Editions: Grammatica in H. Keil, Grammatici
Latini
 , vii. and separately (1871) ; Hermeneumata by G. Getz (1892) (in G. Lowe's Corpus glossariorum Latinorum, iii.) and E. Becking (1832), which contains the appendix' (including the legal fragment) ; see also C. Lachmann, Versuch fiber Dositheus (1839) ; H.
Hagen
 , De Dosithei magistri quae feruntur glossis (1877).
