Apsines; OCD4
Apsines; PIR2 A978. For the rhetorical treatise traditionally attributed to
Apsines see Dilts and Kennedy (1997), including text and translation. Heath (1998) argues that the attribution is incorrect; if so, it is possible that
Apsines was the author of the pseudo-Hermogenean
On Invention.

Heraclides.

[4] The transmitted text says Maximian (286-310); but Maximinus (235-238) must be meant, since other entries make
Apsines a contemporary of the sophists
Fronto [
phi 735], with a floruit under
Severus Alexander (222-235), and Maior [
mu 46], with a floruit under Philip (244-249), and give his pupil Gaianus (
gamma 9) a floruit under Gordian (238-244).
