Brill's New Pauly: "Author of 14 epigrams in the ‘Garland’ of Philippus:
dedicatory, funerary and epideictic epigrams treating traditional (often bucolic, cf. Anth.
Pal. 6,96
255
7,174 etc.) themes with remarkable elegance. Internal evidence assigns him to
the 2nd half of the 1st cent. BC and suggests that he probably visited Rome (cf. 6,96,2
Ἀρκάδες ἀμφότεροι and Verg. Ecl. 7,4 Arcades ambo). The heading of 7,230 attests to his having
come from Cyzicus (that of 7,397, Ἐρυκίου Θετταλοῦ, seems to confirm the existence of a second
E.)
he is possibly identical with the Hellenistic epic writer of the same name (cf. SH
407)....." Degani, Enzo (Bologna). "Erycius." Brill's New Pauly. Antiquity volumes edited by:
