Olympiodorus (circa 450 A.D.) was a Greek monk, ordained as a deacon of a church in Alexandria, and believed to have lived in the 5th or 6th century. He wrote short commentaries on Job, Ecclesiastes, Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Baruch, as well as a fragmentary form of a commentary on Psalms. His writings are based on the the Septuagint, which is the earliest Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. He also refers to the Hexapla, a critical edition of the Hebrew Bible in six versions, compiled by the theologian and scholar Origen, sometime before the year 240 A.D.
