- Abstract
- Following the interpretation of Felix Jacoby (FGrHist 282), I argue that the Κλαυδιανός quoted by the scholium to the Gr. Anth. I 19 is the same man presented by the Ecclesiastical History of Evagrius (I 19) as one of the most famous poets of the age of Theodosius II. He dedicated his patria to four cities involved in the movements and the reforms of the imperial court between 408 and 450 (Tarsus, Anazarbus, Berytus and Nicaea). For this reason, I reject the identification proposed by Alan Cameron between the Κλαυδιανός of the scholium and the Latin poet Claudian, who worked for the emperor Honorius and died around 404. In the same way, I turn down the proposal of Pawel Janiszewski, who identifies the mysterious author with the philosopher of the same name, who lived in the mid-fourth century and is quoted by the Lives of Sophists of Eunapius (VII 1,4; XVIII 1).
