| Comment | Lauxtermann (2003: 199) gives ony the title in translation: 'by Seneca the Iatrosophist'. Cameron (1983: 285) gives an erroneous reading of the title: 'Σενέκα ἰατροσοφιστοῦ'. Cameron (1983: 284) refers to this occurrence, relying on the text of AP I.90. In the AP Sophronios, Patriarch of Jerusalem, is mentioned as poet. |
