Alexander of Greece (rhetorician)
Alexander, son of Numenius, Greek rhetorician, flourished
in the first half of the second century A.D. In addition to
general treatises on rhetoric, he wrote a special work Peri
ton tes dianoias kai tes lexeos schematon, of which
only an abridgment is extant; later epitomes were made in Latin
by Aquila Romanus and Julius Rufinianus under the title De
Figuris Sententiarum et Elocutionis. Another epitome was
made in the fourth century by a Christian for use in Christian
schools, containing additional examples from Gregory Nazianzus.
Text in Spengel, Rhetores Graeci (1856).
