686. _Vita_ 1 (O. Jahn ed.): 1 a (Dürr, _Das Leben Juvenals_). A life contained in Cod. Barberin. viii. 18 (fifteenth century), says _Iunius Iuvenalis Aquinas Iunio Iuvenale patre, matre vero Septumuleia ex Aquinati municipio, Claudio Nerone et L. Antistio consulibus_ (55 A. D.) _natus est; sororem habuit Septumuleiam, quae Fuscino nupsit._ This may be mere invention on the part of a humanist of the fifteenth century. The life contains many improbabilities and the MS. is of suspiciously late date. But see Dürr, p. 28. 687. _Vitae_ 2 and 3 'oriundus temporis Neronis Claudii imperatoris'. _Vit._ 4 'decessit sub Antonino Pio'. 688. So Cod. Paris. 9345; Vossian. 18 and 64; Bodl. (Canon Lat. 41); Schol. Pith, ad _vit._ 1. 689. So all ancient biographies except 1. In _Sat._ iii, Umbricius, addressing Juvenal, speaks of _tuum Aquinum_: cp. also the inscription found near Aquinum and quoted later. 690. This is only conjecture, but the son of a rich citizen of Aquinum would naturally be sent to Rome for his education. For his rhetorical education cp. i. 15-17. 691. _Vita_ 1. 692. Cp. especially the whole of xvi; also i. 58, ii. 165, iii. 132, vii. 92, xiv. 193-7. 693. _C.I.L._ x. 5382. 694. _C.I.L._ vii, p. 85; Hübner, _Rhein. Mus._ xi (1857), p. 30; _Hermes_, xvi (1881), p. 566. 695. Satt. 3, 11, 12, 13. Trebius in 5 is perhaps an imaginary character. 696. vi. 75, 280, vii. 186. 697. vii, 82. 698. Mart. vii. 24, 91, xii. 18. 699. vi. 57. 700. xi. 65. 701. xi. 190, xii. 87. 702. _Vita_ 1. 703. There are, however, allusions to Domitian as dead in ii. 29-33, iv. 153. 704. Ap. Sid. ix. 269. 705. Joh. Mal. _Chron._ x, p. 341, _Chilm._ 706. _Vita_ 7. Schol. ad vii. 92. 707. _Vita_ 6. 708. _Vitae_ 1, 2, 4, 7. Perhaps an inference from _Sat._ xv. 45. 709. See 708. 710. _Vitae_ 5 and 6. If the inscription (see p. 288) refers to the poet, this view has further support. 711. Joh. Mal., loc. cit. 712. Trajan had, however, a favourite in the _pantomimus_ Pylades. Dio. Cass. Ixviii. 10. 713. The simplest suggestion is that Juvenal was at some time banished, that the reason for his banishment was forgotten and supplied by conjecture. Cp. Friedländer's ed., p. 44. There is no real evidence to prove that Juvenal was ever in Egypt or Britain. His topography in _Sat._ xv is faulty, and allusion to the oysters of Richborough (_ostrea Rutupina_, iv. 141) would be possible even in a poet who had never visited Britain. 714. i. 1-3, 17, 18 (Dryden's translation). 715. i. 79. 716. Ib. 85. 717. Ib. 147-50. 718. i. 165-71. 719. x. 356-66 (Dryden's translation). 720. There is nothing in this satire to suggest that Juvenal had or had not visited Egypt. The legend of his banishment to Egypt may be true, but it is quite as likely that this satire caused the scholiast to localize his traditional exile in Egypt. The theme of cannibalism was sometimes dealt with by the rhetoricians. Cp. Quintilian, _Decl._ 12.
