Calli'xenus

（*Kalli/cenos), of Rhodes, a contemporary of Ptolemy Philadelphus.

Works

Callixenus was the author of two works, which are lost.

περὶ Ἀλεξανδρείας

The work which bore the title of περὶ Ἀλεξανδρείας, consisted of at least four books, and was much used by Athenaeus. (Athen. 5.196, &c., ix. p. 387, xi. pp. 472, 474, 483; Harpocrat. s. v. ἐγγυθήκη）

A Catalogue of Painters and Sculptors (Ζ̓ωγράφων τε καὶ ἀνδριπαντοποιῶν ἀναγραφή）

The second work appears to have been a catalogue of painters and sculptors (Ζ̓ωγράφων τε καὶ ἀνδριπαντοποιῶν ἀναγραφή), of which Sopater, in the twelfth book of his Eclogae had made an abridgement. (Phot. Bibl. Cod. 16]; comp. Preller, Polem. Fragm. p. 178, &c.)

[L.S]

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.
