Biography
Biography
There is some evidence for a commentary on Persius. Scholia attributed to Acron appear in manuscripts of Horace; there are three recensions known, the earliest dating to the 5th century. The fragments which remain of the work on Horace, though much mutilated, are valuable, as containing the remarks of the older commentators, Quintus Terentius Scaurus and others. The attribution to Acron, however, is not found before the 15th century, and is doubtful. The scholiast may therefore be called Pseudo-Acron. Fragments of Acron's writing may also appear in Pomponius Porphyrion.
