From Smith, "Avianus, Flavius, the author of a collection of forty-two
Aesopic fables in Latin elegaic verse..." Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography
and mythology, 1867, Vol I, pg. 431.
From Brill online, "Avianus, Author of a collection of 42 fables
written in distichs (beginning of the 5th cent. AD), which is probably dedicated to
Macrobius. Regarding A.'s name, see [8. 10-19]: no attempts should be made to identify A.
with the didactic poet Avienus or with the Avenius who appears in the ‘Saturnalia by
Macrobius [4. XI-XIV
3. 392-396
cf. 11]....." from Küppers, Jochem (Düsseldorf).
