      in praise of Pylades, a pantomime in the time of Augustus, was a native of Tarsus. Strabo
       (<bibl n="Strabo xiv.p.674">xiv. p.674</bibl>) describes him as a bad citizen and a bad poet,
      who gained the favour of Antony by some verses on the battle of Philippi, and was set by him
      over the gymnasium and public games in Tarsus. In this office he was guilty of peculation, but
      escaped punishment by flattering Antony. He was afterwards expelled from Tarsus by
      Athenodorus, with the approbation of Augustus. </p><byline>[<ref target="author.P.S">P.S</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
