Who is Eulamius?

Eulamius, born in Phrygia, was, along with Damascius, one of the Athenian philosophers who sought asylum at the court of Khosrau I of Persia in 531/532 when Byzantine emperor Justinian I closed down the last pagan philosophical schools in Athens. Eulamius disliked his stay in Persia and ultimately returned to Byzantium in 532, protected by a treaty that guaranteed his safety. His name appears as Eulalios in the Suidas and as Eulamios in the historical works of Agathias.
