The Loeb Classical Library: Ausonius, Volume II: Books 18–20. Paulinus Pellaeus: EucharisticusA master of the jeweled style. Ausonius (Decimus Magnus), ca. AD 310ca. 395, a doctors son, was born at Burdigala (Bordeaux). After a good education in grammar and rhetoric and a short period during which he was an advocate, he took to teaching rhetoric in a school that he began in the University of Bordeaux in 334. Among his students was Paulinus, who was afterwards Bishop of Nola; and he seems to have become some sort of Christian himself. Thirty

The famous first book of the novel introduces the protagonist's character

βγαίνει στον κόσμο για να κηρύξει την αγάπη

and because of its evidence for people’s manners and occupations

thus including affairs in that country first when it was ruled by the Greek Ptolemaic kings

and Prometheus Bound (of disputed authenticity)
