Note 1831 — LITERATURE IN THE REIGN OF HADRIAN A.D. 117–A.D. 138
Reading edition
Prof. Monroe Deutsch has contended that the author who recorded the story of Caesar’s extravagant gifts to his reputed mistress Queen Eunoe of Mauretania was not (M. Actorius) Naso, but (P. Attius) Varus, one of Pompey’s officers, and therefore hostile to Caesar. The argument is that in Suet., Iul., lii., the true reading is “ut Varus scripsit,” Class. Jrnl., Dec., 1921.
