Everything about Cornelianus totally explained
Sulpicius Cornelianus was a
Roman rhetorician. He lived in the reign of the
Roman emperors
Marcus Aurelius and
Verus. This puts him in the late
2nd century (Aurelius and Verus reigned from
161 to
180). Cornelianus acted as secretary to Marcus Aurelius.
The grammarian
Phrynichus speaks of Cornelianus with high praise; Phrynichus dedicated his
Ecloga to him, and describes him as worthy of the age of the great
orator Demosthenes.
Fronto is our source for the fact that Cornelianus was named Sulpicius.
It has been argued that Cornelianus is the author of a surviving treatise in
Greek entitled
Philetaerus (φιλέταιρος), which had previously been attributed to the great
3rd century grammarian
Herodian. Herodian, too, was on good terms with Marcus Aurelius.
