- Notes:
- Smith: "Poems are ascribed to an author bearing this name...Aratea
Phaenomena and Aratea Prognostica....." Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and
mythology, 1867, Vol I, pg. 432
Brill's New Pauly: "Avienus, Postumius (?) Rufius Festus, Roman poet of
the mid 4th cent. AD....The Arati phaenomena continues the tradition of the Latin reworking
of the astronomical didactic poem by Aratus of Soli, a tradition running to Cicero and
Germanicus amongst others, but A.'s work also includes comprehensive expansions referring
back to the subject matter of scholia. The Aratea was probably A.'s last work, produced in
about 360, but certainly before 387...." from Küppers, Jochem (Düsseldorf). "Avienus."
