15] Lenaeus, Magni Pompei libertus et pene omnium expeditionum comes, defuncto eo filiisque eius schola se sustentavit; docuitque in Carinis ad Telluris, in qua regione Pompeiorum domus fuerat, ac tanto amore erga patroni memoriam extitit, ut Sallustium historicum, quod eum oris probi, animo inverecundo scripsisset, acerbissima satyra laceraverit, lastaurum et lurconem et nebulonem popinonemque appellans, et vita scriptisque monstrosum, praeterea priscorum Catonisque verborum ineruditissimum furem . Traditur autem puer adhuc Athenis surreptus, refugisse in patriam, perceptisque liberalibus disciplinis, pretium suum retulisse, verum ob ingenium atque doctrinam gratis manumissus.
