Arrianus (astronomer)
text:
Arrianus was an astronomer of ancient Greece who probably lived as early as the time of Eratosthenes, and who wrote a work on meteors, of which a fragment is preserved in Joannes Philoponus's commentary on the Meteorologica of Aristotle. He also wrote a short work on comets, to prove that they had no supernatural significance and foreboded neither good nor evil. Some writers ascribe this work to Arrian instead. A few fragments of it are preserved in Stobaeus.
