His family was established in the region of Corinth. Before his elevation to the episcopate, he served as professor at the Patriarchal School of Constantinople.[3][4] He was the author of the following works on rhetoric and grammar:
- A treatise on the dialects of Ancient Greek (Περὶ διαλέκτων), the oldest surviving edition of which was published in 1493 in Milan.
- A treatise on elementary grammar and syntax (Περὶ συντάξεως λόγου).
- A grammatical exposition on the hymns of John Damascene (Ἐξηγήσεις ἐις τοὺς κανόνας τῶν δεσποτικῶν ἐορτῶν).[5]
A treatise on poetic tropes (Περὶ τροπῶν ποιητικῶν) sometimes ascribed to him is actually by Tryphon.[1]
