Apollonius of Syria

Apollonius (Ancient Greek: Απολλώνιος) was a man of ancient Syria who was a platonic philosopher. He lived about the time of the Roman emperor Hadrian—that is, the late 1st and early 2nd century—and is known to have inserted into his works an oracle which promised to Hadrian the government of the Roman world.^[1]
