A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

a lexicographer of uncertain date. He certainly lived after Martial, whom he quoted (s. v. Vespae), and before Macrobius, who refers to him more than once (Sat. 3.3, 5, comp. 8.). From his remarks upon the word supparus we conclude that he must have belonged to an epoch when the ceremonies of the Christian religion were familiar to ordinary readers, but Saxe has no authority for fixing him down to the close of the fourth century (Onosmast. A. D. 398).
