Dousareios, also known as Dousareios of Petra was a 3rd-century Roman Neoplatonist philosopher of Arab origin from Arabia Nabataea.[1] His name appears to be directly derived from the Nabataean god Dousares.[2] Dousareios seems to be involved in several Neoplatonist disputes. Dousareios argues that gods must be involved in the naming of things, he also denies linguistic convention.[3]
