(f) Iulius Florus was ‘saturarum scriptor’ (Porphyr. ad Hor. Ep. i. 3, 1). Hor. Ep. i. 3 and ii. 2, are addressed to him.
(g) Titius wrote Pindaric odes, and tragedies, Hor. Ep. i. 3, 9-14.
(h) Albinovanus Celsus. See Hor. Ep. i. 3, 15-7.
(i) C. Iullus Antonius, B.C. 44-B.C. 2, was a son of the triumvir M. Antonius. The Schol. on Hor. Od. iv. 2, 2, says of him, “Heroico metro Diomedeam scripsit et nonnulla alia soluta oratione.”
(k) Furnius, an orator; died B.C. 37. He is mentioned by Hor. Sat. i. 10, 86.
Other poets contemporary with Virgil and Horace are:
(a) L. Varius Rufus (cf. Verg. Ecl. 9, 35). His works were:
(1) Epics (a) on the death of Julius Caesar (Macrob. Saturn. vi. 1, 39), (b) in praise of Augustus. Hor. Ep. i. 16, 27-29 is a quotation from this poem (Acron ad loc.), and it is probably referred to in Od. i. 6, 1 (to Agrippa),
‘Scriberis Vario fortis et hostium
victor Maeonii carminis aliti,
quam rem cumque ferox navibus aut equis
miles te duce gesserit.’
(2) A tragedy, Thyestes, praised by Quint. x. 1, 98, ‘iam Varii Thyestes cuilibet Graecarum comparari potest.’
