Saufeius
3. L. Saufeius, a Roman eques, was an intimate friend of Atticus, and, like the latter, a warm admirer of the Epicurean philosophy. He had very valuable property in Italy, which was confiscated by the triumvirs; but Atticus exerted himself on behalf of his friend with so much success, that the latter received intelligence, at the same time, of the confiscation and restitution of his property. (Cic. Att. 1.3, 2.8, 4.6, 6.9, 7.1, 14.18, 15.4; Corn. Nep. Att. 12.)
