Reiske's conkectures, Αἰλίου or Διδίου, take no account of τοῦ and are unlikely changes. Τουδικίου, conjectured by Desrousseaux and approved by the Budé editor and Beckby, restores at small cost the gentile name *Tudicius* (Cic. *pro Cluent.* 198) and may well be right; if so, wehave no other information about this author. The context of 5.49 offers no clue to the source from which it was taken into the *Anthology*. Obscene epigrams are very rare in Philip's *Garland*, but the style and vocabulary of 5.49 are consistent with that period (*c.* 90 B.C. to *c.* A.D. 40). The other epigram appears in Planudes only ; it is ascribed to 'Gallus' without qualification, and there is no way of knowing whether this is the same person as the author of 5.49\".",
