EUSTATHIUS, bishop of Thessalonica, in the
12th century, under the reigns of the emperors Ema-
nuel, Alexander, and Andronicus Comnenus. He was
a very eminent grammarian; and wrote commentaries
upon Homer, and Dionysius the geographer. The
best edition of his Commentaries on Homer is that of
Rome, printed in Greek, in 1542, in four volumes
folio. His commentaries on the Periegesis of Dionysius
were printed by Mr Hudson at Oxford, in 1697,
8vo. Eustathius appears to have been alive in the
year 1194.
