Reading edition
The praenomen “Gaius” of the editio princeps is supported (in preference to P. or M.) by the identification of the historian with the individual named on a milestone in North Africa, “C. Velleio Paterculo leg(ato) Aug(usti) leg(ionis) III Aug(ustae),” C.I.L., VIII. 10311. See Teuffel, Hist. Rom. Lit., § 278, n. 1.
