Vindonius Anatolius of Beirut (also known as ''Vindanius'', ''Vindanionius'', ''Berytius'') was a Greek author of the 4th century, and may be identical with the praetorian prefect of Illyricum mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus. He was the author of a "Collection of agricultural practices" based on numerous earlier authors including Julius Africanus, pseudo-Democritus, pseudo-Apuleius, the Quinctilii, Florentinus and Tarentinus. Except for a few fragments, the work of Vindonius is lost. Evidence of its contents includes: * It was the major source of the 6th-century work of Cassianus Bassus' ''Eclogae de re rustica'', which is also lost but was excerpted in the ''Geoponica'', a surviving 10th-century text. * Photius included a notice of Vindonius's work in his ''Bibliotheca'' (codex 163). * A Syriac translation was made in the 6th or 7th century, and Arabic and Armenian translations were made from this in the 9th and 10th centuries. * One page of the original work survives in Bibliothèque Nationale MS B.N.Gr. 2313 f. 49v. ==Bibliography== *H.
