Note 101 — Chapter II
Thomas Hodgkin translation
If Usener be right (and he has worked up this point with great care), we can trace the following links in the pedigree of Cethegus (see pp. 6 and 11):
Rufius Petronius Placidus, Consul 481. | Rufius Petronius Anicius Probinus, Consul 489. | Rufius Petronius Nicomachus Cethegus, Consul 504, correspondent of Cassiodorus.
Probinus and Cethegus are referred to by Ennodius in his letter to Ambrosius and Beatus, otherwise called his Paraenesis (p. 409, ed. Hartel).
