Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2, 1867, p. 823-4: "Our information with regard to this poet, although limited in extent, is sufficiently precise...."
Brill's New Pauly: "C. Lucilius, Satirical poet, he birth and death dates of the ‘inventor’ (inventor, Hor. Sat. 1,10,48) of Roman verse satire ( Satire) remain disputed....As the first Roman equestrian to consider writing poetry as suitable for his class, he added, with intellectual independence and social critical intent, satirical bite to the satura created by Ennius. He seems to have carried on a political as well as literary feud with Accius and the collegium poetarum....A collection of 30 bks. was in circulation. ... Of the works as a whole, barely 1400 vv. have been preserved in fragments, most of them in Nonius, whose uniform manner of citation is useful for the reconstruction of thematic relationships..."
