Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 3, 1867, p. 580: "Rusticus, Fabius, a Roman historian quoted on several occasions by Tacitus, who couples his name with that of Livy..."
Brill's New Pauly: "F. Rusticus,Friend of Seneca and Historian, Young friend of Seneca (Tac. Ann. 13,20,2), probably from Spain [1. 203
2. 179
293]. He wrote ─ probably in the Flavian period ─ a historical work that Tacitus used as an important source for the Neronian period (cited Ann. 13,20,2
14,2,2
15,61,3), presumably also for the year of four emperors
Tacitus had a high regard for F.'s style (Agr. 10,3), but criticized his bias for Seneca. F. is probably the anonymous historian upon whom Quintilian (Inst. 10,1,104) lavishes praise [1.
