Rufinus possibly lived near Ephesus, where one of his poems is set.[4]

Works

Some thirty-eight epigrams are attributed to Rufinus in the fifth book of the Greek Anthology, and another epigram, which is ascribed to an otherwise unknown Rufinus Domesticus in the Anthology of Planudes, may also be by him. His verses are of the same light amatory character as those of Agathias, Paulus Silentiarius, Macedonius, and others.^[5]
