Biography

Vindonius Anatolius of Beirut (also known as Vindanius, Vindanionius, Berytius) was a Greek author of the 4th century, and may be identical with the praetorian prefect of Illyricum mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus.
He was the author of a "Collection of agricultural practices" based on numerous earlier authors including Julius Africanus, pseudo-Democritus, pseudo-Apuleius, the Quinctilii, Florentinus and Tarentinus. Except for a few fragments, the work of Vindonius is lost. Evidence of its contents includes:
It was the major source of the 6th-century work of Cassianus Bassus' Eclogae de re rustica, which is also lost but was excerpted in the Geoponica, a surviving 10th-century text.
Photius included a notice of Vindonius's work in his Bibliotheca (codex 163).
A Syriac translation was made in the 6th or 7th century, and Arabic and Armenian translations were made from this in the 9th and 10th centuries.
One page of the original work survives in Bibliothèque Nationale MS B.N.Gr. 2313 f. 49v.
