Gabrielius

Gabrielius (Greek: Γαβριήλιος), also called Gabriel (Γαβριήλ), served as prefect of Constantinople during the reign of Emperor Justinian. He is also called Gabrielius the Prefect or Gabriel the Prefect. A poem by Leontius Scholasticus, honoring a statue of Gabrielius, is included in the Greek Anthology.[1][2][3] The Anthology also contains an epigram written by Gabrielius himself.[4][5] The Byzantine scholar Johannes Laurentius Lydus dedicated three of his works to Gabriel (likely Gabrielius).[4]
