10. ORFITUS GAVIUS, consul A. D. 178, with Julianus Rufus. (Lamprid. Colsmmod. 12.)

As the three persons last mentioned all lived in the reign of M. Aurelius (A. D. 161-180), it is impossible to say which of them was the Ortitus who was advanced to various honours in the state by this emperor, although he was the paramour of the empress (Capitol. M. Anton. Phil. 29).
