XENOPHON, a native of Ephesus, is supposed to have written towards the close of the second century. His romance, De Anthia et Habrocome Ephesiacorum Libri V. was first edited by Cocchi, Lond. 1726, 4to. An Italian translation had previously been published by Salvini, Lond. 1723, 8vo. The original work appears in the collection of Mitscherlich, Scriptores Erotici Græci. Biponti, 1792-94, 3 tom. 8vo. It was about the same time edited by Polyzoës, Viennæ Aust. 1793, 8vo. A much better edition was soon afterwards published by Baron Locella, Vien. Aust. 1796, 4to. Another edition was published by Peerlkamp, Harlemi, 1818, 4to; and the last is by F. Passow, Leipsic, 1833. This romance of Xenophon the Ephesian has repeatedly been translated into French and German, as well as Italian; and an English version was published by Rooke, Lond. 1727, 8vo.
