Remarks:
The treatise is inserted at the end of Julius Paris' Epitome of Valerius Maximus, and is presented as its tenth part. According to Kappelmacher (1918: 688), this was done during the Middle Ages, in order to conclude a work that seemed incomplete.
A subscription attributes the work that has been epitomized to Gaius Titius Probus and defines its title as Epitoma historiarum diversarum et exemplorum Romanorum. According to the subscription, Helpidius Domnulus (Ravenna, 500 A.D.) is said to have copied and corrected it (Faranda 1971: 33).
