Diogeniānus
(
Διογενειανός). A Greek grammarian of Heraclea. About the
middle of the second century A.D. he made extracts, in five books, from the great collection
of glosses compiled about a century before by Pamphilus. These extracts form the foundation of
the lexicon of
Hesychius (q.v.). A collection of
proverbs made by him is preserved in an abridged form. See
Lexicon.
