to have been extremely popular. Propertius, Martial, 
and other ancients, mention him with applaufe. His Ly- 
coris is fiippofed to have been the Cytheris who capti¬ 
vated Mark Antony, and was carried about by him in fuch 
indecent triumph. Gallus was intimately connedbed with 
Afinius Pollio ; and he was employed by Auguftus in his 
•war againfl: Antony and Cleopatra, and fo well approved 
his valour and condudl that he was afterwards appointed 
to the government of Egypt. But this elevation proved 
his ruin ; for, being charged with peculation, and, as fome 
affert, with confpiracy, he was deprived of all his pro¬ 
perty, and condemned to exile. Unable to bear this dif- 
grace, he put an end to his life in his forty-third year. 
None of his writings have reached modern times; but 
Servius affirms that there are feveral of his lines inferied 
in the eclogue of Virgil above-mentioned. Some elegies, 
which were publiffted under his name in the beginning of 
the fixteenth century, are undoubtedly fuppolititious. 
Beltdes his pieces on Lycoris, it is known that he tran- 
flated into Latin verfe lome books of the Greek poet Eu- 
phorion.
