Aelius Festus Aphthonius
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aelius Festus Aphthonius was a Latin grammarian of the 3rd or 4th century, possibly of African origin, and considered to be one of the most important classical rhetoricians.
He wrote a metrical handbook De Metris, in four books, which was added to the Ars Grammatica of Gaius Marius Victorinus sometime before 400, but not by Victorinus himself.
