Valgius in Actaeone

Donatus, in his life of Terence, quotes three Iambics from Valgius in Actaeone, which affirm that Terence published, under his own name, dramas which were in reality the property of Scipio, and hence Valgius has been ranked among the writers of comedy, although there is no proof that Actaeon was a play of any kind.
