Opilius
Aurelius. The freedman of an Epicurean, taught at Rome, first philosophy, then rhetoric, and, finally, grammar. He gave up his school upon the condemnation of Rutilius Rufus (B.C. 92), whom he accompanied to Smyrna, and there the two friends grew old together in the enjoyment of each other's society. He composed several learned works, one of which, named Musae, is referred to by A. Gellius (i. 25).
