*keki/lios
Adler number: kappa,1165
Translated headword: Caecilius
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A Sicilian, from Callatis (Callantis [sic] is a city in
Sicily).[1] Rhetor. He was a sophist in Rome under Caesar Augustus, and until Hadrian. He was of servile parentage, some say, and his former name was Archagathus. He was of the Jewish faith. His books are numerous:
Against the Phrygians, 2 books (it is alphabetically arranged);[2]
Demonstration that Every Word of Elegant Language has been Spoken (it is a selection of words, alphabetically arranged);
Comparison of Demosthenes and Cicero;
How the Attic and Asian Styles Differ;
On the Stylistic Character of the Ten [Attic] Orators;
Comparison of Demosthenes and Aeschines;
On Demosthenes, which of his speeches are genuine and which misattributed;
On Things Said Consistently and Inconsistently with History by the Orators; and very many other works. I am surprised by his being Jewish: a Jew clever in Greek matters.

Notes:
C1 BC/AD (the reference to Hadrian here cannot be right). See generally RE Caecilius(2); NP Caecilius(5); OCD4 Caecilius(1); PIR2 C14; FGrH 183; TLG 1233.
Adler has chosen to print the name spelled with epsilon, while noting that alphabetical order requires
*kaiki/lios as in the Aldine edition (1514). See Wendel p.234 (and
kappa 1238).
[1] Better known as Cal(e)acte (Kale Akte, 'Cape Fair'), on the north coast of
Sicily. Adler notes that here in the Suda entry 'Holstenius' (Lucas Holstein, 1596-1661; see Sandys,
A History of Classical Scholarship II 364-5) proposed emending
*kallatiano/s to
*kalakti=nos, and
*ka/llantis to
*kala/kth, on the basis of
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 6.272F (6.104 Kaibel).
[2] Probably a critique of the Asian style in oratory. The next work mentioned presumably demonstrated the classical authors of the vocabulary approved by Caecilius' Atticist taste.
