Pamphilus of Alexandria (Ancient Greek: Πάμφιλος ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς; fl.
1st century AD) was a Greek grammarian, of the school of Aristarchus of Samothrace.
The work itself is lost, but an epitome by Diogenianus (2nd century) formed the basis of the lexicon of Hesychius.
the Prata of Suetonius) from its varied contents, dealing chiefly with mythological marvels, was probably a supplement to the lexicon, although some scholars identify them.
