Historical scholar Theodor Mommsen dates him to the middle of the 3rd century.He was the author of De mirabilibus mundi ('The wonders of the world') which circulatedboth under the title Collectanea rerum memorabilium ('Collection of Curiosities'), and Polyhistor; but the latter title was favoured by the author. The work is indeed a description of curiosities in a chorographical framework."@en .
