A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Gallica'nus (search)
Gallica'nus a rhetorician mentioned by Fronto (p. 128, ed. Niebuhr), where, however, A. Mai remarks that the word Gallicanus may be a mere adjective to designate a rhetorician of Gaul, and that Fronto may allude to Favorinus, the Gallic sophist of Arles. Whether Mai is right or not cannot be decided, but the Squilla Gallicanus to whom one of Fronto's letters (Ad Amic. 1.28, p. 207, ed. Niebuhr) is addressed, must, at all events, be a different person. The latter is mentioned in the Fasti as consul, in A. D. 127, in the reign of Hadrian. Whether this M. Squilla Gallicanus, again, is the same as the one who occurs in the Fasti as consul in A. D. 150, is uncertain, as under the latter date the Fasti are incomplete, and have only the name Gallicanus.

Thus it is often asserted that the thirteenth satire belongs to A. D. 119 or even to A. D. 127, because written sixty years after the consulship of Fonteius (see 5.17), as if it were unquestionable that this Fonteius must be the C. Fonteius Capito who was consul A. D. 59, or the L. Fonteius Capito who was consul A. D. 67, while, in reality, the individual indicated is in all probability C. Fonteius Capito, who was consul A. D. 12, since we know, from Statius, that Rutilius Gallicus (see 5.157) was actually city praefect under Domitian. Again, the contest between the inhabitants of O

Nica'nor 3. A celebrated grammarian, who lived during the reign of the emperor Hadrian, A. D. 127. According to Suidas s. v.) he was of Alexandria; according to Stephanus Byzantinus (s. v. *(Iera/polis) he was of Hierapolis. His labours were principally directed to punctuation, hence he received the ludicrous name of *Ztiymati/as Suidas, l.c.), and, from his having devoted much of his attention to the elucidation of Homer's writings, through neans of punctuation, he is called by Stephanus I. c.) o( ne/os *(/Omhros. He wrote, also, on the punctuation of Callimachus, and a work *Peri\ kaqo/lou stiymh=s. He is copiously quoted in the Scholia Marciana on Homer. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. i. pp. 368, 517, vol. iii. p. 823, vol. vi. p. 345.)
