Life The anonymous compiler(s) of the Λεξικογραφικὸν ἔργον ἀνώνυμον (Lexicographical Work Anonymous I) cannot be identified. The work is a product of the scholarly grammatical traditions of Late Antiquity, a period spanning from the 2nd to the 6th century CE, during which grammarians actively systematized classical Greek language and literature [1].

Works While the work is designated as having a count of six, no specific titles for six distinct works by this anonymous figure are attested. Such lexica from this era are typically known by generic titles like Lexicon or by manuscript names, and approved sources do not enumerate a set of six under this specific anonymous designation [1].

Significance This anonymous lexicon is significant for the history of scholarship and textual transmission. It served as a reference tool for understanding obscure words in classical texts and preserves fragments of lost works, variant readings, and interpretations from earlier commentators, forming a crucial link in the chain of ancient scholarship [1].
