Brill's New Pauly: "Onasander, Greek author, 1st cent. AD, Author of a Greek work about military matters (Στρατηγικός/“‘Stratēgikós”) dedicated to the
Roman senator Q. Veranius (cos. AD 49) which dates to the period before 58/59, the year of Veranius' death (Tac. Agr. 14,2). In the prooemium, O. briefly mentions the agenda
