a learned Greek historian and orator, in the second century, under the reign of Antoninus the philosopher, was the disciple of Herodus Atticus. He lived for a long time in Greece; and afterwards went to Rome, where he died at a great age. He wrote an excellent Description of Greece, in ten books; in which we find not only the situation of places, but the antiquities of Greece, and everything most curious and worthy of knowledge. Abbé Gedoin has given a French translation of it, in 2 vols 4to.
