Quintus Terentius Scaurus

Quintus Terentius Scaurus

Quintus Terentius Scaurus, Latin grammarian, flourished during the reign of Hadrian (Aulus Gellius xi. 15).

He was the author of an "ars grammatica" and commentaries on Horace, Virgil's "Aeneid" and perhaps Plautus. Under his name, two fragments are extant--the longer from his work on orthography ("De orthographia"), the shorter (chiefly on the use of prepositions) from another grammatical work. They ave both been published in 1878 by Heinrich Keil in the 7th volume of his "Grammatici Latini"; the only "De orthographia" has appeared in a new commented edition prepared by Federico Biddau (Olms-Weidmann, 2008).----
