famous for his Treatise on Dreams. He was born at Ephesus, but took upon him the surname of Daldianus in this book, by way of respect to his mother's country Daltis. He styled himself self the Ephesian in his other performances. He not only bought up all that had been written concerning the explication of dreams, which amounted to many volumes; but he likewise spent many years in travelling, in order to contract an acquaintance with fortunetellers: he also carried on an extensive correspondence with all the people of this sort in the cities and assemblies of Greece, Italy, and the most populous islands; collecting at the same time all the old dreams, and the events which are said to have followed them. The work which he wrote on dreams consisted of five books: the first three were dedicated to one Caecilius Maximus; and the last two to his son, whom he took a good deal of pains to instruct in the nature and interpretation of dreams. This work, though filled with frivolous observations, contains some things that are interesting. It was first printed in Greek at Venice in 1518; and Rigaltius published an edition at Paris, in Greek and Latin, in 1603, and added some notes. Artemidorus wrote also a treatise upon Auguries, and another upon Chiromancy; but they are not extant. He lived under the emperor Antoninus Pius.
