ANDRONICUS OF RHODES (c. 7o B.e.), the iith schol arch of the Peripatetics. He edited the writings of Aristotle and Theophrastus, and wrote paraphrases of Aristotle and com mentaries. Two treatises are sometimes erroneously attributed to him, one on the emotions, the other a commentary on Aris totle's Ethics (really by Constantine Palaeocappa in the i6th century, or by John Callistus of Thessalonica).
