ARCADIUS, of Antioch, Greek grammarian, flourished in the 2nd century A.D. According to Suidas, he wrote treatises on orthography and syntax, and an onomasticon (vocabulary). An epitome of Herodian's work on general prosody, wrongly attributed to Arcadius, is probably the work of Theodosius of Alexandria or a grammarian named Aristodemus. The loth book of this epitome is the work of a forger of the 16th century.
