Zenobius

Zenobius (Ancient Greek: Ζηνόβιος) was a Greek sophist, who taught rhetoric at Rome during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (AD 117–138).

[1] He was the author of a collection of proverbs in three books, still extant in an abridged form, compiled, according to the Suda,[2] from Didymus of Alexandria and "The Tarrhaean" (Lucillus of Tarrha, a polis in Crete).

Zenobius is also said to have been the author of a Greek translation of the Latin prose author Sallust, which has been lost, and of a birthday poem on the emperor Hadrian.
