Alexander of Cotiaeum

Alexander of Cotyaeum (Ancient Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος; c. 70–80 AD – c. 150) was a Greek grammarian, who is mentioned among the instructors of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.^[1][2] We still possess an epitaph (λόγος ἐπιτάφιος) pronounced upon him by the rhetorician Aelius Aristides,^[3][4] who had studied under Alexander.^[5]
