      uncertain age, wrote in elegiac verse an account of early Roman history, from which Plutarch
      quotes the fabulous origin of the Lupercalia. It seems to have been called <foreign xml:lang="grc">Αἴτια</foreign>, like a work of Callimachus, because it gave the causes
      or origin of various fables, rites, and customs. (<bibl n="Plut. Rom. 21">Plut. Rom.
