Apollonius the Sophist (Greek: Ἀπολλώνιος ὁ Σοφιστής) was a famous grammarian, who probably lived towards the end of the 1st century AD[1] and taught in Rome in the time of Tiberius.
He was the author of a Homeric dictionary (Λέξεις Ὁμηρικαί), the only work of this kind existent today.
The surviving text of this dictionary is an epitome, that is, it is a shortened summary of the original.
In the original version, Apollonius apparently supplied at least one quotation in each entry.
