Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2, 1867, p. 752: "Leonidas, of Alexandria, was born as he informs us ...on the banks of the Nile, whence he he went to Rome....His epigrams show that he flourished under Nero, and probably down to the reign of Vespasian. In the Greek Anthology, 43 epigrams are ascribed to him, but some of these belong to Leonidas of Tarentum....."
Brill's New Pauly: "Leonides of Alexandria, Author of at least three books of epigrams, originally an astronomer (cf. Anth. Pal. 9,344), active in Rome in the 1st cent. AD. 42 magnificent poems are preserved, almost all of them isopsephic (i.e. the number of letters in each distich or in each of the verses of a couplet is identical)...." from Albiani, Maria Grazia (Bologna).
