Saevius Nicanor
Saevius Nicanor (/ˈsiːviəs
He was the author of commentaries, the greater portion of which was said to have been suppressed (intercepta dicitur), and of a satire where he declares himself to have been a freedman; and to have been distinguished by a double cognomen:
Sevius Nicanor Marci libertus negabit:
Sevius Nicanor Pothos idem ac Marcus docebit.
Saevius Nicanor, freedman of Marcus, will deny
he's the same person as Saevius Pothos, even if Marcus says so.
Suetonius adds that according to some accounts, because of a bad reputation he retired to Sardinia and there died.
