- Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, Vol 2,
1867, p. 181: "Fortunatianus, Curius or Chirius, a Roman lawyer, flourished about the
middle of the fifth century after Christ,a short time before Cassiodorus, by whom he is quoted. He drew up
a compendium of technical rhetoric, by way of question and answer, in three books.."
Brill's New Pauly: "Consultus Fortunatianus, C. Chirius F. derives from
a misunderstood title of a work: enchiridion/enchiriadis). Author of a Lat. manual Ars
rhetorica in three bks in the form of question and answer..... .....Probably to be dated in
the 5th rather than the 4th cent. AD... the work represents a comprehensive and highly
systematic compendium, deriving from the declamatory school..."
