APPENDIX OF AUTHORS AND WORKS
WORKS
(i) EXTANT: De bello civili (so the MSSj Housman (under Texts below, 296), explains
Pharsalia nostra at 9.985 as a ref. to the battle fought by Caesar, and described by L.):
unfinished epic, breaking off at 10.546; several passages might have been excised on
revision. In the Vita Codicis Vossiani, Seneca is wrongly accredited with first four lines
of bk i, probably as a result of a misinterpretation of Annaeus at Fronto 2.io5ff.,
above p. 533 n. 2. Jerome mentions a commentary at Apol. c. Rufin. 1.16: cf. Lyd. De
mag. 3.46. Two ancient commentaries survive, the Commenta Bernensia, ed. H. Usener
(BT, 1869), and the Adnotationes super Lucanum, ed. J. Endt (BT, 1909). (2) LOST:
A long list of works in Vacca, five of which are attested by Stat. Silv. 2.7.54—63, who
also mentions an Adlocutio ad Pollam. We have fragments of the Catachthonion,
Iliacon, Orpheus and Epigrammata, but the Laudes Neronis, Silvae, Saturnalia, Medea,
Sahicae fabulae, De incendio urbis, Epistulae ex Campania and Prosa oratio in Octavium
Sagittam are only titles.
