Alexander, son of Numenius, Greek rhetorician, flourished in the first half of the 2nd century. In addition to general treatises on rhetoric, he wrote a special work, Peri ton tes dianoias kai tes lexeos schematon, of which only an abridgment is extant; later epitomes were made in Latin by Aquila Romanus and Julius Rufinianus under the title De Figuris Sententiarum et Elocutionis. Another epitome was made in the 4th century by a Christian for use in Christian schools, containing additional examples from Gregory Nazianzus.
