Remarks:
This work is the hypothetical source of the Excidium Troiae, a probably medieval account of the Trojan War that is independent of Dares of Phrygia and Dictys of Crete. The Excidium Troiae is first attested in a ninth-century manuscript and is an epitome of an earlier Latin text, which in turn relies on Greek sources. This entry refers to the hypothetical intermediate Latin source.
