He was probably an African by birth, summoned to Constantinople to take the place of , a learned commentator on Terence.[1]
The Ars Grammatica, in five books, addressed to his son (not a Roman, as the preface shows), has come down to us incomplete: the beginning of the first, part of the fourth, and the greater part of the fifth book are lost.[1]

The edition of Heinrich Keil, in Grammatici Latini, i. (1857), has been superseded by that of (1925).
