Pompeius

20. SEX. POMPEIUS SEX. F. son of No. 19. was consul A. D. 14, with Sex. Appleius, in which year the emperor Augustus died. These consuls were the first to render homage to Tiberius (D. C. 56.29; Tac. Ann. 1. 7; Suet. Aug. 100 ; Vell. 2.123). Sex Pompeius seems to have been a patron of literature. Ovid addressed him several letters during his exile (ex Pont. 4.1. 4, 5. 15); and it was probably this same Sex. Pompeius, whom the writer Valerius Maximus accompanied to Asia, and of whom he speaks as his Alexander. (V. Max. 2.6.8, 4.7. extern. § 2.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
