scriptor pseudonymus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ostanes sive Osthanes (Graece Ὀστάνης, Ὀσθάνης) fuit magus suppositicius cui libri pseudonymi Graece in Aegypto Hellenistica et Romana compositi adscribuntur. Inter glossas in Dioscoridem et pseudo-Apuleium nomina plantarum aliqua Ostani attribuuntur.
Nomen "Ostanes" e lingua Persica derivatur. Homines nonnulli huius nominis referuntur qui re vera vixerunt, sed an unus ex his vel alius quidam a posterioribus magum fuisse reputatus sit, nescitur.
