Works
Life of Simeon
He wrote a life of his master Simeon, with whom he had lived on intimate terms.
Editions
It was written in Greek, and L. Allatius (
Diatr. de Script. Sim. p. 8) attests, that he saw a Greek MS. of it; but
the only edition which has been published is a Latin translation in Boland's Act. Sanctor. i. p. 264. (Cave,
Script. Eccles. Hist. Lit. ii. p. 145.) Vossius (
De Hist. Lat. p. 231), who knew only the Latin translation, was doubtful whether he should consider Antonius as a Latin or a Greek historian.
