ALEXANDRIAN, in a particular sense, is applied to all those who professed or taught the sciences in the school of Alexandria. In this sense, Clemens is denominated Alexandrinus, though born at Athens. The name may be said of Apion, who was born at Oasis; and Aristarchus, by birth a Samothracian. The chief Alexandrian philosophers were, Amonius, Plotinus, Origen, Porphyry, Iamblicus, Sopater, Maximus, and Dexippus.
