1. Prefect of the city under Theodosius the Great. He was put to death in the tenth year of his reign. An epigram on the pedestal of an obelisk at Constantinople records his success in setting the obelisk upright. (Anthol. Graec. 4.17.) A Latin translation of the epigram by Hugo Grotius is given by Fabricius (Bibl. Graec. vol. ix. p. 368).
