RABIRIUS, GAIUS<br />

LIFE AND "WORKS<br />

Author of an epic on the civil war between Antony <strong>and</strong> Octavian. Most important<br />

notices are Ovid, Pont. 4.16.5, Veil. Pat. 2.36.3, Sen. Ben. 6.3.1 (ascribing fr. 2 to the<br />

dying Antony) <strong>and</strong> Quint. 10.1.90. Rightly, Bard on (11 69) sees him as a precursor of<br />

Lucan, <strong>and</strong> denies (73-4) that he is the author of the Herculaneum Papyrus on the<br />

Egyptian war: community of subject matter has encouraged the ascription; see Bardon<br />

loc. cit. <strong>and</strong> 136—7, Schanz-Hosius 11 267—8. M. Alfonsi, 'Nota a Rabirio', Aegyptus<br />

(1944) i96ff., has credited him with the supposedly Virgilian lines on the Egyptian war<br />

mentioned by the humanist Decembrius, armatum cane, Musa, ducem belloque cruentam<br />

Aegyptum: see R. Sabbadini, Le scoperte dei codici latini e greci ne'secoli XIVe XV<br />

(Florence 1905) 138-9. For the elephant simile see J. Aymard, Quelques series de<br />

comparaisons cAej Lucain (Montpellier 1951). Fragments in FPL 120—1.<br />

CORNELIUS SEVERUS<br />

WORKS<br />

Epic on Roman history, scope uncertain: Ovid attests the 'carmen regale' {Pont.<br />

4.16.9, cf. 4.2.1 <strong>and</strong> 11), Quintilian the 'bellum Siculum' (10.1.89), Probus the res<br />

Romanae (GLK iv 208.16). Sen. Suas. 6.x6 preserves fragment on death of Cicero;<br />

Sen. Epist. 79.5 mentions a description of Etna. See Schanz—Hosius 11 268-9; Bardon<br />

11 61-4; P. Grenade, 'Le my the de Pompee et les Pompeiens sous les Cesars', R.E.A.<br />

52 (1950) 28-67 (influence on Lucan).<br />
