Aphrodisianus (Ancient Greek: Ἀφροδισιανός) was a Persian man who wrote in Ancient Greek a work called Description of the East (or A Picture of the World), a fragment of which is given by the 17th century philologist Charles du Fresne, sieur du Cange.
He was also quoted as a reference in the Chronicle of Hippolytus of Thebes and in the anonymous work known as the Ravenna Cosmography.
[3] Aphrodisianus also wrote a historical work on the Christian Mary.
[4] Some speculate that this Aphrodisianus was a different author from the one who wrote Description of the East.
