TERENTIANUS

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 641 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TERENTIANUS , surnamed MAURUS (a native of Mauretania), Latin grammarian and writer on prosody, flourished probably at the end of the 2nd
century
  A.D. His references to Septimius
Serenus
  and Alfius Avitus, who belonged to the school of " new poets " (poetae neoterici or
novelli
 ) of the reign of Hadrian and later, seem to show that he was a near contemporary of those writers. He was the author of a treatise (incomplete) in four books (written chiefly in hexameters), on letters, syllables, feet and metres, of which considerable use was made by later writers on similar subjects. The most important
part
  of it is that which deals with metres, based on the
work
  of Caesius Bassus,
' See Ep. ad Fam. I. ix. 15, Pro Caecina 27, Philippic II. 15. 2 Essays (trans. by C.
Cotton
 ), chap. lxvii.
Quoted by E. Neerette in his Histoire dc la liltfrature latine. .x\'t. 21.
the friend of Persius. By some authorities Terentianus has been identified with the prefect of Syene mentioned in Martial (i. 86), which would make his date about a
century
  earlier; others, again, who placed
Petronius
  at the end of the 3rd century (a date no longer held), assigned Terentianus to the same period, from his frequent references to that author.
