12. Claudian (in Eutrop. i. 154-170) mentions the guilt and
exile of Abundantius; nor could he fail to quote the example
of the artist who made the first trial of the brazen bull
which he presented to Phalaris. See Zosimus, 1. v. [c. 10]
p. 302; Jerom, tom. i. p. 26 [Ep. lx. c. 16, tom. i. p. 342,
ed. Vallars.]. The difference of place is easily reconciled;
but the decisive authority of Asterius of Amasia (Orat. iv.
p. 76, apud Tillemont, Hist. des Empereurs, tom. v. p. 435)
must turn the scale in favour of Pityus.
