Brill's New Pauly: "C. Balbus Invented interlocutor of Augustus,
An interlocutor of Augustus invented by John of Salisbury, Policraticus 3,14 (507ab W.[?]), as a dissimilation of the name of Pliny the Younger....
On the basis of what follows at 507c ff.[?], it came to be used (cf. [2] against [1]) for a collection of aphorisms [3]
from late antiquity based on a Greek original with the addition of 16 sayings of Publilius Syrus which, from the Carolingian epoch,
became available to the gnomic literature of the Middle Ages...." Schmidt, Peter L. (Constance).
