1867, p. 1220:
Brill's New Pauly: "Mummius, 1, Author of Atellan farces, propably
Augustan, ccording to Pomponius Bononiensis and Novius [I 1], who presumably lived about 90
BC, M. revived the atellan farces, which had laid dormant for some time (Macrob. Sat. 1,10,3).
His Old Latin metre (use of iambic shortening) and language (abl. testu) suggest that he
probably did not write later than the Augustan period...." Blänsdorf, Jürgen (Mainz).
