VI LIFE OF SOC KATES. Under Troilus, a celebrated teacher of philosophy and elo- quence at Constantinople. This however is rather inferred from his frequent and honourable mention of Troilus, than from any direct statement of the fact. He speaks of Side in Pamphilia as the country of Troilus, and names Euse- bius, and the bishops Silvanus and Alabius, as among the number of his distinguished pupils ; and finally* declares that the Praetorian praefect Anthemius, who during the minority of Theodo...sius guided the administration, was greatly influenced by his counsels: to which he adds this eulogy of him : " Who in addition to his philosophical attainments, was not inferior to Anthemius in political sagacity. " On these grounds therefore it is concluded that Troilus taught Socrates rhetoric. Our author's first appearance in public life was in the Forum at Constantinople, as a special pleader : it was from this circumstance that the cognomen " Scholasticus" was applied to him ; which indeed was the general appellation for advocates on their leaving the schools of the rhetoricians to devote themselves to the duties of their profession.
