(Oppiano, Cynegetica) p. 13 (Opiano de Apamea) p. 225 (the Syrian Oppian of Apamea; Oppian of Cilicia is often confused with the author of the Cynegetica) p. 231 (very little is known about the author of the Κυνηγετικα = Kynēgetika, a didactic poem; dedicated to the emperor Caracalla, so composed or published between 212 and 217; this Oppian has often been confused with Oppian of Anazarbe, Cilicia, who wrote the Halieutika, a treatise on fishing) p. 343 (Oppiano di Apamea) Oppian, of Apamea.

Stories from the mountains, stories from the sea, 2003: p. 1 (Cynegetica poetae Apameensis; Oppianos von Apamea) p. 4 (the Cynegetica was written by an unnamed Syrian author, possibly another Oppian, who tells us that he was from Apamea-on-the-Orontes; seems to have been completed after 212 AD, likely to have been completed after Caracalla's imperial tour of the province of Syria in 215 AD and almost certainly no later than his assassination in 217 AD; composition possibly undertaken as early as 202 AD) |
