Pollianus

Πωλλιανός

(Πωλλιανός), an epigrammatic poet, five of whose pieces are preserved in the Greek Anthology. From the first of these epigrams it is probable that he was a grammarian; the third is addressed to a poet named Florus, who is possibly the Florus who lived under Hadrian; but there is no other indication of the writer's age. (Brunck, Anal. vol. ii. p. 439; Jacobs, Anth. Graec. vol. iii. pp. 146, 147, vol.xiii. p. 940.)
