Apollonides of Nicaea ( Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνίδης ὁ Νικαεύς) lived in the time of the Roman emperor Tiberius, to whom he dedicated a commentary on the Silloi of Timon of Phlius. [1]
Apollonides wrote several works, all of which are lost:
An Apollonides, without any statement as to what was his native country, is mentioned by Strabo, [7] Pliny the Elder, [8] and by the Scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes, [9] as the author of a work called Circumnavigation of Europe (περίπλος τῆς Εὐρώπης). Stobaeus quotes some senarii from one Apollonides. [10]
