Abstract

[Tibullus] 3.20, a four-line epigram in the voice of a male lover who is upset to hear rumors of his girlfriend's infidelity, is usually considered to be written by an unknown author, possibly in the persona of Tibullus. I argue that it is by Sulpicia in the persona of her beloved Cerinthus and forms the conclusion to the Sulpicia poems, [Tibullus] 3.13–18. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
