Vestinus, Julius

a sophist, made an abridgment of the lexicon of Pamphilus [PAMPHILUS, No. 4], and a selection of words from Demosthenes, Thucydides, Isaeus, Isocrates and others. (Suidas, s. v. Οὐηστῖνος.) The name of Julius Vestinus ought to be substituted for that of Julius Justinus, which is prefixed as the name of one of the lexicographers to the work of Suidas.
