Notes:
Grant, M. Greek and Latin authors, 1980 (Philostratus, Flavius, a Greek sophist, b. ca. 170 A.D., d. in reign of Philip the Arabian (r. 244-249)
great confusion arises from probable existence of no less than four writers of this name)
Anderson, G. Philostratus, 1986: index (Philostratus the Athenian) p. 3 (a sophist, b. somewhere around the 170s
the Suda puts his death in the reign of Philip the Arab (244-9)
the 2nd in a line of 4 (or 1st of 3) Philostrati from Lemnos
the ascription of the Lives of the sophists gives the author's name as Flavius Philostratus
epigraphic evidence enables us to add at least tentatively a praenomen Lucius)

Brill's New Pauly: "Philostratus, Rhetor and versatile author, 2nd/3rd cent., son of Verus, was born c. AD 170 to a prosperous Athenian family with properties on Lemnos ....The Suda attributes declamations (μελέται/melétai) and a sophistic career as rhetor and teacher in Athens and Rome to him....He is probably also identical with the sophist Flavius P., who was honoured by the city of Athens with a statue at Olympia ...
