He is primarily known for his writings, which include the widely copied and read "Commentarii in Somnium Scipionis" ("Commentary on the Dream of Scipio"), which was one of the most important sources for Platonism in the Latin West during the Middle Ages, the "Saturnalia", a compendium of ancient Roman religious and antiquarian lore, and "De differentiis et societatibus graeci latinique verbi" ("On the Differences and Similarities of the Greek and Latin Verb"), which is now lost.

Polykleitos Polykleitos was an ancient Greek sculptor in bronze of the 5th century BCE. His Greek name was traditionally Latinized "Polycletus", but is also transliterated "Polycleitus" (Ancient Greek: Πολύκλειτος , Classical Greek ] , "much-renowned") and due to iotacism in the transition from Ancient to Modern Greek, "Polyklitos" or "Polyclitus". He is called "Sicyonius" (lit. "The Sicyonian", usually translated as "of Sicyon") by Latin authors including Pliny the Elder and Cicero, and Ἀργεῖος (lit. "The Argive", trans. "of Argos") by others like Plato and Pausanias. He is sometimes called the Elder, in cases where it is necessary to distinguish him from his son, who is regarded as a major architect but a minor sculptor.

Polyaenus Polyaenus or Polyenus ( ; see ae (æ) vs. e; Greek: Πoλύαινoς , "Polyainos", "much-praised") was a 2nd-century Macedonian author, known best for his "Stratagems in War" (in Greek, Στρατηγήματα), which has been preserved. The "Suda" calls him a rhetorician, and Polyaenus himself writes that he was accustomed to plead causes before the emperor. Polyaenus dedicated "Stratagems in War" to the two emperors Marcus Aurelius (161–180 CE) and Verus (161–169 CE), while they were engaged in the Parthian war (162–165 CE), about 163 CE, at which time he was too old to accompany them in their campaigns.

Hephaestion of Thebes Hephaestion, Hephaistion, or Hephaistio of Thebes (Ancient Greek: Ἡφαιστίων , "Hēphaistíōn") was a Hellenized Egyptian astrologer of late Antiquity who wrote a Greek treatise known as the "Apotelesmatics" or "Apotelesmatika" around  415. Much of the work appears to be an attempt to synthesize the earlier works of the 1st century astrologer Dorotheus of Sidon and the 2nd century astrologer Claudius Ptolemy. Hephaestion is seen mainly as one of the later compilers of the Hellenistic tradition of astrology since he mainly draws from earlier astrologers, including Antiochus of Athens, and he summarizes large portions of Ptolemy and Dorotheus, which is helpful to modern scholars since we have no other record of many of the authorities that he quotes.

Polybius Polybius ( ; Greek: Πολύβιος , "Polýbios"; c. 200  – c. 118  BC) was a Greek historian of the Hellenistic period noted for his work, "The Histories", which covered the period of 264–146 BC in detail. The work describes the rise of the Roman Republic to the status of dominance in the ancient Mediterranean world and included his eyewitness account of the Sack of Carthage in 146 BC. Polybius is important for his analysis of the mixed constitution or the separation of powers in government, which was influential on Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws" and the framers of the United States Constitution.

Perrhaebi The Perrhaebi (Ancient Greek: Περραιβοί ) were an ancient Greek people who lived in northern Thessaly. They took part in the Trojan War under Guneus and also fought in the Battle of Thermopylae. Their capital was Phalanna, and their most significant town, or "polis", was Oloosson. Through most of their history they were overshadowed and controlled by Thessaly, although they had two votes at the Delphic Amphictyony. Philip II of Macedon freed the Perrhaebi from Thessaly and took their kingdom for Macedonian control, under which it remained until Roman conquest in 196 BC. They were listed in Xerxes' vast army by Herodotus. A coin of the Perrhaebi depicted a man restraining a bull on one side and a horse on the other.The inscription was "Περραιβών".

Proclus Oneirocrites Proclus or Proklos (Greek: Πρόκλος ) was surnamed Oneirocrites (Ὀνειροκρίτης, "judge of dreams"), according to some authorities. He predicted the death of the emperor Anastasius. It appears to be this Proclus of whom Zonaras relates that he set on fire the fleet of Vitalian, who was in arms against Anastasius, by means of mirrors. According to other accounts, the fire was set by sulphur and not by mirrors. (This story has sometimes been erroneously referred to Proclus Diadochus.)

Epinicus Epinicus or "Epinikos" (Greek: Ἐπίνικος , 3rd century BC), was an Athenian comic poet of the new comedy. Two of his plays are known, "Hypoballomenai" and "Mnêsiptolemos". The latter title determines his date to the time of Antiochus III the Great, about 217 BC, for Mnesiptolemus was an historian in great favour with that king.

Philoxenus (physician) Philoxenus or Claudius Philoxenus (Greek: Φιλόξενος ), a Greco-Egyptian surgeon, who, according to Celsus, wrote several valuable volumes on surgery. He is no doubt the same person whose medical formulae are frequently quoted by Galen, and who is called by him Claudius Philoxenus. As he is quoted by Asclepiades Pharmacion, he must have lived in or before the 1st century. He is quoted also by Soranus, Paul of Aegina, Aëtius, and Nicolaus Myrepsus, and also by Avicenna.
