A certain POMPILIUS is mentioned by Varro as having epigrammatic tastes; one distich that is preserved gives us no high notion of his powers "Pacvi discipulus dicor: porro is fuit Enni: Ennius Musarum: Pompilius clueor." Lastly, VALERIUS AEDITUUS, who is only known by the short notices in Varro and Gellius, wrote similar short pieces, two of which are preserved.
The following description of himself by a poet in Varro's Onos Louras , -Pacuvi discipulus dicor, porro is fuit Enni, Ennius Musarum; Pompilius clueor- He himself once aptly says, that he had no special fondness for antiquated words, but frequently used them, and that he was very fond of poetical words, but did not use them.
