Avia'nus, Laetus

the name prefixed to an epigram in bad Latin, comprised in three elegiac distichs, on the famous work of Martianus Capella. The subject proves that it cannot be earlier than the end of the fifth century. (Burmann, Antholog. Add. i. p. 738, or Ep. n. 553, ed. Meyer. ; Barth. Adversar. 18.21.)
