Two incomplete treatises on epideictic speeches have been preserved under his name, but it is generally considered that they cannot be by the same author.
Bursian attributes the first to Menander, whom he placed in the 4th century, and the second to an anonymous rhetorician of Alexandria Troas, who possibly lived in the time of Diocletian.
Others, from the superscription of the Paris manuscript, assign the first to Genethlius of Petra in Palestine.
