Fuscus, Ari'stius

a friend of the poet Horace. (Sat. 1.9. 61, Ep. 1.10.) Acro (ad loc.) calls Fuscus a writer of tragedies; Porphyrion (ib.) of comedies; while other scholiasts describe him as a grammarian. Since the names Viscus and Tuscus are easily convertible into Fuscus, Heinsius (ad Ov. ex Pont. 4.16. 20) contends that Viscus (Hor. Sat. 1.9. 22) and Tuscus (Ov. l.c.), the author of a poem entitled Phyllis, should be read Fuscus. (See Jahn's Jahrbuch d. Phil. ii 4, p. 420, for the year 1829.) Horace addressed an ode (Carm. 1.22) and an epistle (Ep. 1.10) to by Fuscus Aristius, whom he also introduces elsewhere (Sat. 1.9. 61; 10. 83).

In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
