Brill's New Pauly: "Oppian, From Apamea, Author of an didactic poem on hunting,
author of Κυνηγετικά/Kynēgetiká, 'On Hunting', a treatise in 2144 hexameters and 4 books, dedicated to Caracalla (212-217 AD). Not to be confused with O. [1], even if
in antiquity both didactic poems were attributed to a single author of this name, perhaps because they were combined in a single edition, beginning with Halieutiká,
or because the author of Kynēgetiká circulated his own work under the name of the predecessor he imitated. The poem was written after 198 AD (conquest of the city of Ctesiphon:
Opp. Cyn. 1,31)..." from Fornaro, Sotera (Sassari). "Oppianus." Brill's New Pauly. Antiquity volumes edited by: Hubert Cancik and
