*(Iero/qeos).


Works


Περὶ τῆς Θείας καὶ Ἱερᾶς Τέχνης,

He was the author of a Greek poem, consisting of 233 barbarous Iambic lines on alchemy, entitled Περὶ τῆς Θείας καὶ Ἱερᾶς Τέχνης, De Divina et Sacra Arte (sc. Chrysopocia). He appears to have been a Christian, but nothing more is known of him; and, with respect to his date, it can only be said that the poem is evidently the work of a comparatively recent writer.

Editions

It was published for the first time in the second volume of Ideler's Physici et Medici Graeci Minores, Berol. 1842, 8vo.
