Brill's New Pauly: "Longus, Author of 'Daphnis and Chloe', We have no information about the person who wrote the most famous Greek novel,
‘Daphnis and Chloe’: the name L. in the MSS is typically Roman and frequently attested on Lesbos, the island where the action of the novel takes place, but
Roman names were very common among Greeks in the Imperial period. Also as far as the dating of the work is concerned, we only have few indications which leave room for doubt.
The refinement of the tale conjures up a mature phase of the novel genre, so it probably dates from the turn of the 2nd to the 3rd cent. AD..."
