18] L. Crassicius, genere Tarentinus, ordinis libertini, cognomine Pasicles, mox Pansam se transnominavit. Hic initio circa scenam versatus est, dum mimographos adiuvat; deinde in pergula docuit, donec commentario Zmyrnae edito adeo inclaruit, ut haec de eo scriberentur:
Uni Crassicio se credere Zmyrna probavit:
Desinite indocti coniugio hanc petere!
Soli Crassicio se dixit nubere velle,
Intima cui soli nota sua extiterint.
Sed cum edoceret iam multos ac nobiles, in iis Iulium Antonium, triumviri filium, ut Verrio quoque Flacco compararetur, dimissa repente schola, transiit ad Q. Sexti philosophi sectam.
