Ma'ximus Epiro'ta

（Μάξιμος Ἠπειρώτης), a native of Epeirus, or perhaps Byzantium, whence he is also called Byzantius, was one of the instructors of the emperor Julian in philosophy and heathen theology. He must not be confounded with Maximus of Ephesus, who was likewise one of the teachers of Julian. Of his life we know little.

Works

Maximus wrote,

1. Περὶ ἀλύτων ἀντιθέσεων,
De insolubilibus Oppositionibus

Editions

Published Graec. et Lat. by H. Stephanus, Paris, 1554, 8vo. ad calcem Operum Minor. Critic. Dionysii Halicarn.

2. Ὑπομνήματα πρὸς Ἀριστοτέλην,
Commentarii in Aristotelem

3. Περὶ ἀριφμᾶν,
De Numeris

4. Other works

Some epistles and essays addressed to the emperor Julian.

5. Περὶ καταρχῶν vel ἀπαρχῶν

This is also ascribed to Maximus Ephesius, in whose life the reader will find a further account of this work.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
