Paea'nius

（*Paia/nios).

It is quite uncertain who this Paeanius was, but it has been conjectured that he lived not long after Eutropius himself.

Works

Translation of the history of Eutropius into Greek

He was the author of a translation of the history of Eutropius into Greek. This translation, of which Zonaras seems to have often availed himself, is not very accurate, but still not inelegant.

Editions

It was printed for the first time by F. Sylburg in the third volume of his Romanae Historiae Scriptores, Francof. 1590, and is also contained in the editions of Eutropius by Hearne, Havercamp, and Verheyk. It has been printed in a separate form by Kaltwasser under the title, "Paeanii Metaphrasis in Eutropii Historiam Romanam, in usum scholarum," Gotha, 1780.

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.
