D. 51, with the emperor Claudius (<bibl n="Tac. Ann. 12.41">Tac. Ann. 12.41</bibl> ; <bibl n="Plin. Nat. 2.31">Plin. Nat.
      2.31</bibl>; and the inscription in Fabrettus, p. 472). In <date when-custom="66">A. D. 66</date>
      Orfitus proposed. in honour of the imperial family, that the month of June should for the
      future be called Germanicus (<bibl n="Tac. Ann. 16.12">Tac. Ann. 16.12</bibl>). It would
      appear, from an incidental notice in Tacitus (<bibl n="Tac. Hist. 4.42">Tac. Hist.
      4.42</bibl>), that Orfitus perished not long after this, by an accusation of the informer
      Aquillius Regulus.</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
