Brill's New Pauly: "S. Largus Author of a book of prescriptions, 1st cent. AD, author of Compositiones (book of recipes, AD 47/8),
dedicated to the freedman C. Iulius [II 36] Callistus, secretary to the emperor Claudius [III 1]. Born around the time of Christ in North Africa or
(more likely) Sicily, certainly bilingual (Latin and Greek), S. seems to have learned medicine from Sicilian physicians and Vettius Valens. Although S.
was certainly present around the court of the Roman emperor, he was not his physician, although he did treat Callistus...."
