work
  (De excellentibus ducibus exterarum gentiurn, more commonly known as Vitae excellentium imperatorum) and the
biographies
  of Cato and Atticus from another (De Latinis historicis),have been preserved. Erotic poems and a geographical treatise are also attributed to him. Nepos is not altogether happy in the subjects of his
biographies
 , and he writes rather as a panegyrist than as a biographer, although he can rebuke his own countrymen on occasion. The Lives contain
Editions of the Lives (especially selections) are extremely numerous; text by E. O. Winstedt (
Oxford
 , 1904), C. L. Roth (1881), C. G. Cobet (1881), C.
