Diphilus
4. A tragedian, exhibited at Rome in the time of Cicero, whom he grievously offended by applying to Pompey, at the Apollinarian games (B. C. 59), the words " Nostra miseria tu es Magnus," and other allusions, which the audience made him repeat again and again. (Cic. Att. 2.19.3; V. Max. 6.2.9.)
