8. " Ambrosius Nicander, Toletanus, qui circa A. Chr. 817, S. Cyriaci Episcopi Anconitani Martyrium versibus Latinis scripsisse, et catalepses (sive argument) in Silii Italici libros composuisse traditur." (Fabric. Bill. Gr. vol. iv. p. 354, ed. Harles.) Fabricius gives no authority for this statement, nor does Harles supply the defect. It appears, however, that there has been some confusion respecting this personage, who is, in fact, no other than Ambrosius de Victoria (or Nicander), who lived in the sixteenth century. (See Anton. Biblioth. Hisp. Vetus, vol. i. p. 508, vol. ii. p. 452 ; id. Biblioth. Hisp. Nova, vol. i. p. 67.)
