Samuel Taius' Sententiae.
An Spanish theologist from VII century Visigothic Spain just remembered for starting the genre of theological Summas.

As far I have seen, the work is divided in 5 parts in which he expounds and comments on the doctrines of Saint Augustine, Saint Isidore, and Saint Gregory the Great.

Bump

Publilius Syrus- I read his maxims. He is cited in Petronius as Trimalchio’s favorite poet to show Trimalchio’s poor learning since appearently Syrus wasn’t held in high regard and it shows because his maxims are just nothings- they either contradict one another or just fortune cookie pleasentries. So much is lost, idk

Grattius- a hunting poem in the same volume which goes over every single breed of dog used in hunting and how to use dog licks to clean wounds. A lot of stuff about hunting. It was boring

Thomas Parnell
Poet, clergyman, and a friend to Alexander Pope, on whom he relied for his Iliad translation (apparently)
Read his Battle of the Frogs and Mice (Iliad parody), but only the parts about Zoilus (since I've read Cowper's version), a nitpicking critic who trashes on well-regarded figures, Homer in particular, for clout, whose actions echoes the critics who just hate on everything for ridiculous, I hate to say it, media illiterate reasons.
