About Aspasius of Byblos
Aspasius of Byblos was a philosopher.
Aspasius of Byblos was a sophist of Ancient Greece who according to the Suda was a contemporary of the sophists Adrianus and Aelius Aristides, and who consequently lived in the reign of the emperors Marcus Aurelius and Commodus, around 180 CE. He was a pupil of Apsines (this was the 2nd-century Athenian sophist Apsines, and not Apsines of Gadara or the 4th century sophist Apsines).
Some scholars have suggested that some works previously ascribed to Apsines were actually the works of this person. He may also be the same person as Aspasius of Tyre.
