Orion of Thebes

Orion of Thebes (died c. 460s) was a 5th-century grammarian of Thebes (Egypt), the teacher of Proclus the neo-Platonist, and of Eudocia, the wife of Emperor Theodosius II. He taught at Alexandria, Caesarea in Cappadocia and Constantinople. He was the author of a partly extant etymological Lexicon (ed. F. W. Sturz, 1820), largely used by the compilers of the Etymologicum Magnum, the Etymologicum Gudianum and other similar works; a collection of maxims in three books, addressed to Eudocia, also ascribed to him by Suidas, still exists in a Warsaw manuscript.[1]

gollark: Really? That would be better, then.
gollark: I do wonder how well they're actually going to work in practice, though. I heard that each satellite could handle 6Gbps or so of traffic, and there are maybe 500 of them, which means if they roll it out to 100 000 people they'll get an amazing 4MB/s each.
gollark: SpaceX is apparently going to provide its own hardware.
