Translation
Grammarian; of Alexandria; nicknamed Philoponus ["Industrious"]. His writings are very numerous, on grammar, philosophy, arithmetic, rhetoric, Holy Scripture; and against the eighteen arguments of Proclus and against Severus.1 However, he was rejected by the doctors of the church as a tritheist, and ejected from the list of the orthodox.
