Aelius Serenus

Aelius Serenus was an Athenian grammarian of uncertain date.^[1]

He was born and lived in ancient Athens.^[1]

He is chiefly notable for being a grammarian and for having written several treatises on the meanings of Greek words and on Latin words derived from Greek language.^[1]

He wrote an epitome of the work of Philo on Cities and their illustrious men, in three books, and an epitome of the commentary of Philoxenus on Homer, in one book.^[1]

Aelius Serenus also wrote Ἀπομνημονεύματα, from which Stobaeus makes numerous extracts (Stobaeus, Floril. 11.15, et passim).^[1]
