The brief article highlights the thematic analogy between a scoptic epigram of Ennodius against the eunuch Tribunus (carm. ii 71 H. = 190b V.) and the series of epigrams of Lucillius against the small and light people (AP ix 99-101, 106). The similarity does not seem random and implies that Ennodius read Greek text or Latin translations. In the third paragraph a new interpretation of the ballast, the saburra of Tribunus, is provised in an erotic key.

The similarity does not seem random and implies that Ennodius read Greek text or Latin translations. In the third paragraph a new interpretation of the ballast, the saburra of Tribunus, is provised in an erotic key.
