Apollo'nides
5. Of NICAEA, lived in the time of the emperor Tiberius, to whom he dedicated a Commentary on the Silli of Timon. (

He wrote several works, all of which are lost.-- 1.
A commentary on Demosthenes' oration
περὶ παραπρεσβείας. (Ammon.
s. v. ὄφλειν.) 2. On fictitious stories (
περὶ κατεψενσμένων), of which the third and eighth books are mentioned. (Ammon.
s. v. κατοίκησις; Anonym.
in Vita Arati.) 3.
A work on proverbs. (Steph. Byz.
s. v. Τέρινα.) 4.
A work on Ion, the tragic poet. (Harpocrat.
s. v. Ἴων.) An Apollonides, without any statement as to what was his native country, is mentioned by Strabo (
vii. p.309, xi. pp. 523, 528), Pliny (
Plin. Nat. 7.2), and by the Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius (4.983, 1174; comp. 2.964), as the author of a work called
περίπλος τῆς Εὐρώπης. Stobaeus (Florileg. 67.3, 6) quotes some senarii from one Apollonides.
