- Notes:
- Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 3,
1867, p. 532: "Procillius, a Roman historian, a contemporary of Cicero. He appears to have
written on early Roman history, as Varro quotes his account of the origin of the Curtian
lake..."
Brill's New Pauly: "Roman antiquarian, datable by the testimony of Pliny
the Elder (HN 8,4) to the time of the triumph of Pompeius ...(in about 81 BC). As the few
testimonies.... are connected with the route of the triumphal procession, the work might under
certain circumstances have been a periegesis for Rome (cf. Travel literature) ....
Cicero (Att. 2,2,2) preferred Dicaearchus's writings on cultural history to those of
Procilius...."
