It is a cento
      from the writings of Virgil, and breaks off abruptly at the end of 42 lines. The author is
      believed to be the <title>Vettius Agorius Basilius Mavortius,</title> who was consul <date when-custom="527">A. D. 527</date>, the same who, according to Bentley, arranged the works of
      Horace in their present form, and who is supposed by a recent critic, whose reasonings will
      not bear close investigation, to have interpolated a number of spurious pieces, and introduced
      other organic changes. (Burmann, <hi rend="ital">Antholog. Lat.</hi> 1.147, or No. 282, ed.
