The conjectural date is based on De Tranq., xvii. 7; Ep., cviii. 17 and 22; Nat. Q., I. i. 3. Lehmann, Claudius u. Nero, I. 152, prefers 8 B.C. Favez, in ed. of Ad Helu., supports the earlier date because of Seneca’s recollection of Asinius Pollio recorded De Tranq., xvii. 7; Pollio died in A.D. 5.
