1867, p. 177: "Pelagonius, a writer on veterinary medicine, of whose works a few fragments
only remain, which are to be found in the collection of writers on that subject, first
published in Latin by J. Ruellius, Paris, 1530, fol. and afterwards
Brill's New Pauly: "Pelagonius Saloninus,in about AD 360 wrote the first
Latin text of hippiatrics. From Apsyrtus [2] he adopted the epistolary form of his chapters,
each of which is intended for a patron (unfortunately not identifiable with certainty) of high
social standing. Apart from Latin agrarian writers (Columella, Celsus), P.'s sources were
Greek specialist writings dealing only summarily with the medical treatment of horses, such as
those of Eumelus and Apsyrtus (preserved in the Hippiatrika). P. was in turn a source for
Vegetius' hippiatrics. robably translated into Greek quite quickly, it later found its way
into the corpus of hippiatrika... Fischer, Klaus-Dietrich (Mainz). "Pelagonius Saloninus."
