Joannes

63. Of GAZA, a Greek writer (grammaticus), of whose date nothing is known, except that he lived after the time of the Christian poet Nonnus [NONNUS], who may be placed in or just before the reign of Justinian I. John of Gaza appears to have imitated the style of Nonnus.

1. Ἔκφραδις τοῦ κοδμικοῦ πίνακος τοῦ ἐν Γάζη ἢ ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ,
Tabellae Unicersi Ecphrasis

An iambic poem of 701 lines.
