On Anatolios in the Geoponika: one author or three?
-
Tadashi Ito
Abstract
Most scholars believe that the “Anatolios” appearing in the Geoponika is Vindanius Anatolius of Berytus (Beirut) and the prefect of Illyricum of that name from Berytus mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus. In this paper we shall examine the hypothesis that Cassianus probably identified Οὐϊνδανιώνιος, ᾿Aνατόλιος and Βηρύτιος as three authors, and that Photios by mistake interpreted Οὐϊνδανιώνιος, ᾿Aνατόλιος and Βηρύτιος as one author. Finally, we can conclude from the considerations of 494 chapter headings appearing in the Geoponika that Vindanios Anatolios Berytos is actually an erroneous composite for the names of three different persons, and that the Anatolios in the Geoponika cannot be identified with the man mentioned in Amm. 19, 11, 2 and Eun. vit. soph. 85.
