PAMPHILUS (1st century A.D.)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 658 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PAMPHILUS (1st century A.D.) , a
Greek
  grammarian, of the school of
Aristarchus
 . He was the author of a comprehensive
lexicon
 , in 95 books, of foreign or obscure words (yXiirrat trot MEets), the
idea
  of which was credited to another grammarian, Zopyrion, himself the compiler of the first four books. The
work
  itself is lost, but an
epitome
  by
Diogenianus
  (2nd
century
 ) formed the basis of the
lexicon
  of Hesychius. A similar compilation, called Aetc:Wv (" meadow "; cf. the Praia of Suetonius) from its varied contents, dealing chiefly with mythological marvels, was probably a supplement to the lexicon, although some scholars identify them. Pamphilus was one of the
chief
  authorities used by Athenaeus in the Deipnosophists. Suidas assigns to another Pamphilus, simply described as " a philosopher," a number of works, some of which were probably by Pamphilus the grammarian.
See G. Thilo in Ersch and
Gruber
 's Allgemeine Encyclopadie, M. Schmidt, appendix to his edition of Hesychius, (1862) vol. iv.; A. Westermann in Pauly's Real-encyclopddie (1848).
