Sulpicius Apollināris
A contemporary of A. Gellius, and a learned grammarian. There are two poems in the Latin
Anthology purporting to be written by Sulpicius of Carthage, whom some identify with the
above-named Sulpicius Apollinaris. One of these poems consists of seventy-two lines, giving
the argument of the twelve books of Vergil's
Aeneid, six lines being devoted to
each book. Sulpicius also wrote the metrical arguments prefixed to the plays of Plautus (?)
and Terence. (See
Periocha.) His arguments to the
Aeneid are printed in the
Poët. Lat. Min. of
Bährens, iv. 169. See Beck,
De Sulpicio Apollinari (Groningen,
1884).
