Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2, 1867, p. 824:
"Lucilius Junior, a poem in 640 hexamaters, entitled Aetna, has been transmitted to
us....With regard to the author all is doubt.
Brill's New Pauly: "L. Iunior, Friend of the Younger Seneca, author...known to us from the writings
of the latter
he came from a modest background, perhaps from Campania, but - owing to his powerful friends - he rose quickly
to the equestrian class
....Seneca dedicated his Epistulae morales to him, as well as the Naturales quaestiones and
the De Providentia. L. wrote philosophical prose and poems, including one about Sicily,
but it is very unlikely that he wrote the Aetna (Sen. epist. 79,5)...." Eck, Werner (Cologne)
