Strategios

Strategios (Greek Strategios/Latin Strategius) is known here only as the recipient of letters, and the name is not distinctive enough to fix a single secure identity. It appears across two unrelated bodies of correspondence: the letters of the rhetorician Libanius of Antioch (4th century AD) and those of the ascetic priest Isidore of Pelusium in Egypt (early-to-mid 5th century AD), which most likely reflect two or more different men rather than one person. A prominent contemporary, Strategius Musonianus, served Constantius II as praetorian prefect of the East and was among Libanius's many correspondents, but the bare name 'Strategios' here cannot be confidently identified with him. Beyond these letters the recipient (or recipients) is otherwise little attested; the figure is best treated as a correspondent within late-antique Greek epistolary networks rather than as an independently documented public man.
