Note 637 — CXLVIII (A IV, 17 AND PARTS OF 16)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
Antius is not known. Favonius was a close imitator of Cato's Stoicism. He was now opposing both Pompey and Cæsar strenuously, but on the Civil War breaking out, attached himself strongly to Pompey. He was put to death by Augustus after the battle of Philippi (Suet. Aug. 13). He had a very biting tongue. See Plut. Pomp. 60.
