Abas, sophist

Abas (in Greek Aβας) was an ancient Greek sophist and a rhetorician about whose life nothing is known. The Suda ascribes to him historical commentaries (istorika apomnemata) (in Greek ιστoρικα απoμνηματα) and a work on rhetoric "Techne Rhetorike" (in Greek τεχνη ρητoρικη}. What Photius in his Myrobiblion quotes from him, belongs probably to the former work.
