RE Vestinus(4) = Iulius(53).
Vestinus, who flourished during the reign of Hadrian, was active in Alexandria as procurator Musaei, an office he was probably appointed to by the Emperor himself. He was also in charge of the tasks of procurator bibliothecarum urbis Romae and was later chosen by Hadrian as an a studiis and ab epistulis; cf. IG XIV 1085 = OGIS 679. His epitome of Pamphilus is probably a source of Diogenianus' lexicon and is in any case quoted as a lexicographic source of the Suda (see the introductory section, lines 9-10) The attribution to Vestinus of the poem known as Ara ionica (Greek Anthology 15.25) is conjectural. For other sources concerning this grammarian see Etymologicum Magnum p.259 Miller, s.v. pw=s dai/; scholia to Lucian, Timon 48; scholia to Gregory of Nazianzus, Funebrem orationem in patrem (PG 35 992.6) ap. Montfaucon, Diarium Italicum, p. 214; Basil, in Greg. Naz. quoted by Gaisford in the commentary to this entry.
[1] [pi 142] Pamphilus. Since Pamphilus' work itself is said there to have filled 95 books, the '94' of the present entry must be a version of that numeral. (Adler notes that in the Suda editio princeps it was emended to 4, as that of Vestinus' epitome.)
