), also called Pseudo-David, was the author of a set of lectures on logic written in Ancient Greek that form a commentary on Porphyry's Isagoge.
The manuscripts identify the author of the commentary variously as either Elias or David, two other Neoplatonist commentators on Aristotle.
[8] Modern scholars have debated the relationship between Pseudo-Elias and the three other extant Neoplatonic commentaries on the Isagoge that were written by Ammonius, Elias, and David.
[3] Some modern scholars have suggested that the author was a physician by profession giving introductory lectures on logic, given that although the philosophical content of the work is rather weak, the author demonstrates special interest in Ancient Greek medicine and especially in the writings of Galen.
[1] Two manuscripts of the fourteenth century contain excerpts, which may have been made from complete texts that were not missing the first seven lectures.
