The New International Encyclopædia/Diogenianus

​DI′OGE′NIA′NUS (Lat., from Gk. Διογενειανός, Diogeneianos). A Greek grammarian of Heraclea, who lived in the middle of the second century A.D. His epitome, in five books, of the collection of glosses compiled by the Alexandrian grammarian Pamphilus, about a century before, is believed to have been the basis of the lexicon of Hesychius. A portion of the work, containing a collection of proverbs made by him, is preserved in an abridged form in the Parœmiographi Græci, edited by von Leutsch and Schneidewin.
