By this otherwise unknown author, we have a short book, coming from sometime in the 2nd century BCE. His work, the Art of Grammar (Gr. «Τέχνη Γραμματική»), seemingly not in its original form, begins with the definition of grammar and its various functions. It touches matters as accentuation, punctuation, letters’ and syllables’ sounds, exhibiting Dionysius division in eight parts of speech as well as their characteristics and forms. Although he starts by stating the purpose of this Art, we don’t meet e.g. any passage about critical evaluation of poetry or speech, as one would expect.
