Canus, Q. Gellius
a friend of T. Pomponius Atticus, was struck out of the proscription in B. C. 43 by Antony on account of the friendship of the latter with Atticus. (Nepos, Att. 10; comp. Cic. Att. 13.31, 15.21.) The Cana to whom there was some talk of marrying young Q. Cicero, was probably the daughter of this Gellius Canus. (Ad Att. 13.41, 42.)
