259 – Nothing is known of this man, nor is even the name certain,
as there are many various readings. The Benedictines
suggest that it may mean Philodemus, who is mentioned by
Diog. Laert. x. 3. as a follower of Epicurus, and is also
spoken of by Cicero, De fin. 11, 35. and by Horace, Sat. 1,
2, 21.
