Arsenius the Paroemiographer was a late antique compiler of Greek proverbs, conventionally dated to the 5th–6th century CE. No specific biographical details about him survive, though his epithet identifies him as a collector of proverbs. He was likely a grammarian or scholar working within the educational circles of the Eastern Roman Empire.

His sole known work is the Collection of Proverbs. This compilation gathers Greek proverbs, frequently providing explanations of their meanings and origins, and relies substantially on earlier paroemiographers like Zenobius and Diogenianus.

Arsenius’s primary importance is as a transmitter of Greek paremiography. His derivative but systematic collection preserved numerous proverbs and served as a key reference in Byzantine education and scholarship. It remains a valuable source for understanding popular wisdom and linguistic expression from the classical through late antique periods.
