names drew on the botanical works of T (3.18.8). Verus knew varieties of
apple named after A and C. M, and his grammatical works were quoted by
the Augustan grammarian Verrius Flaccus.

Clodius (Askle ̄piadean) (80 BCE – 120 CE)
Askle ̄piadean physician or perhaps a medical historian. He described drinking silphium
juice mixed with beeswax, and other remedies involving acrid substances, as means used by
some to treat tetanus (C A Acute 3.96 [CML 6.1.1, p. 348]), and gave an
account of a cure of an effeminate man (interpreted by S/Caelius as a cure for
ascarides: Chron. 4.134 [CML 6.1.2, p. 850]).

Clodius Tuscus (30 BCE – 15 CE)
Composed a Latin parape ̄gma, which I “L,” Ost. 58–70 (pp. 117–158 Wu.)
preserves in Greek. Clodius indicates meteorological and astronomical events for each Julian
date, and often agrees with the calendars of O, Fasti, and of C, RR 11.2.
Tuscus’ ephemeris may be Ovid’s source (Fasti, ed. R. Merkel, pp. –).

D. Clodius Albinus of Hadrumetum (d. 197 CE)
Roman senator, born at Hadrumetum in Africa, governor of Britain, colleague then rival of
Septimius Seuerus, who defeated him at the battle of Lugdunum. Reportedly an expert in
agronomy who composed a Geo ̄rgika or treatise on farming (SHA 11.7).

Clodius of Naples (50 BCE? – 200 CE)
P, Abstinence 1.17.2, cites him for an anecdote about the servant of the
doctor K being saved by eating viper-flesh (in a tract against vegetarianism,
extracted in 1.13–17). Clearly not the Sicilian orator of Suetonius, Gramm. 29 (Kaster 1995:
308 – 309).
