HELLADIUS OF ANTINOUPOLIS°

HELLADIUS OF ANTINOUPOLIS° (fl. c. 310 C.E.), Greek grammarian, who notes, in a passage derived from the Alexandrian antisemitic Exodus tradition, as do nicarchus and ptolemy of Chennos, that Moses was called "Alpha" because of his leprous spots (alphoi), but cites Philo as a source (in no extant work, however).
