Pomponius Porphyrion (orPorphyrio)^{[citation needed]} was aLatingrammarian and commentator onHorace.

He was possibly a native ofAfrica, and flourished during the 3rd century A.D.

Hisscholia onHorace, which are still extant, mainly consist ofrhetorical and grammatical explanations. We probably do not possess the original work, which must have suffered from alterations and interpolations at the hands of the copyists of theMiddle Ages, but on the whole thescholia form a valuable aid to the student of Horace.
