Latin poetry -- History and criticism; Rome -- In literature
414. e.g. perhaps Martial, Sulpicia, and some of Pliny's poet friends,
see pp. 170 sqq.
415. See p. 80.
416. See Teuffel and Schwabe, _Hist. Röm. Lit._ § 304; Schanz, _Gesch.
Röm. Lit._ 384 a.
417. Schol. _Pers._ vi. 1.
418. Ithyphallicum, Archebulium, Philicium, Paeonicum, Proceleusmaticum,
Molossicum. Baehrens, _Poet. Röm. Fragm._ p. 364.
419. Ioseph. _vita_ 65.
420. Suet. _Vesp._ 17, 18.
421. Ib. 8.
422. Ib. 19 'vetera quoque acroamata revocaverat'.
423. Ib. 18.
424. Dion. lxvi. 13, in 71 A.D. That this act was ineffectual is shown
by Domitian's action in 89-93 A.D.
425. Plin. _N.H._ praef. 5 and 11.
426. Suet. _Dom._ 2; Tac. _Hist._ iv. 86; Quint, x. 1. 91.
427. Suet. _Dom._ 18.
428. Quint. loc. cit.; Val. Fl. i. 12; Mart. v. 5. 7.
429. Suet. _Dom._ 4.
430. 6 Stat. _Silv._ iv. 2. 65, v. 3. 227.
431. Suet. _Dom._ 20. This may have been creditable to him as ruler of
the empire, though Suetonius undoubtedly wishes us to regard Tiberius'
memoirs as a manual of tyranny.
432. Suet. _Dom._ 10.
433. Suet. loc. cit.; Hieronym. ad ann. 89 and 95 A.D. The latter date
is wrong: cp. Mommsen, _Hermes_, iii (1869), p. 84.
434. Tac. _Agr._ 2.
435. Quint. x. 1. 89. There is no clear indication of his date, but he
is coupled with Saleius Bassus by Juvenal (vii. 80), a fact which
suggests that he belonged to the Flavian period.
436. x. 1. 90.
437. Juv. vii. 79.
438. Stat. _Silv._ v. 3.
439. Stat. _Silv._ i. 2. 253; Mart. iv. 6. 4, i. 7, vii. 14.
440. Schol. Vall, _ad Iuv._ i. 20; Mart. xi. 10; Rut. Nam. i. 603;
Schol. _Iuv._ i. 71. For his brother Scaevus Memor see p. 30.
441. Plin. _Ep._ v. 3. 5, vi. 10. 4.
442. Ib. iii. 1. 11, ii. 7. 1
443. Mart. viii. 70. 7.
444. Plin. _Ep._ v. 3. 5.
445. Priscian, _Gr. Lat._ ii, p. 205, 6.
446. Plin. _Paneg._ 47; _Ep._ iii. 18. 5.
447. Dion. lxviii. 16; Gellius xi. 17. 1.
448. See p. 25. Other names are Octavius Rufus, Plin. _Ep._ i. 7;
Titinius Capito, _C. I. L._ 798, Plin. _Ep._ i. 17. 3; viii. 12. 4;
Caninius Rufus, Plin. _Ep._ viii. 4. 1; Calpurnius Piso, Plin.
_Ep._ v. 17. 1.
449. _Ep._ vi. 15.
450. _Ep._ ix. 22.
451. Gaius Passennus Paulus Propertius Blaesus was his full title. He
derives his chief interest from the fact that the inscription at Assisi
which preserves his name is our most conclusive evidence for the
birthplace of Propertius. Haupt, opusc. i. p. 283, Leipz. (1875).
452. _Ep._ iv. 27.
453. viii. 21. 14.
454. vii. 9. 10.
455. iv. 14. 2.
456. iv. 14. 4.
457. He also translated the Greek epigrams of Arrius Antoninus. Cp.
_Ep._ iv. 3. 3, and xviii. 1. One of these translations is preserved.
Baehrens, _P.L.M._ iv. 112.
458. ii. 90. 9.
459. In the sixth Satire.
460. See Schanz, _Gesch. Röm. Lit._ § 284.
461. Apoll. Sid. ix. 261 'quod Sulpiciae iocos Thalia scripsit
blandiloquum suo Caleno'. Auson. _Cento. Nupt._, 4 'meminerint prurire
opusculum Sulpiciae, frontem caperare'. Fulgentius, _Mythol._ 1 (p. 4,
Helm.) 'Sulpicillae procacitas'
