Note 116
See Epigram xxx.:-
Mallius indulget somno noctesque diesque:
Insomnis Pharius sacra, profana, rapit.
Omnibus, hoc, Italae gentes, exposcite votis,
Mallius ut vigilet, dormiat ut Pharius.
Hadrian was a Pharian (of Alexandria). See his public life
in Godefroy, Cod. Theodos. tom. vi. p. 364. Mallius did not
always sleep. He composed some elegant dialogues on the
Greek systems of natural philosophy (Claud. in Mall.
Theodor. Cons. 61-112).
