Alphius Avitus was a Latin poet believed to have flourished during the reigns of the Roman emperors Augustus and Tiberius, that is, the late 1st century BC or early 1st century AD. Many suppose him to be the same person with —the precocious pupil of Lucius Cestius Pius and contemporary with Seneca the Elder, who while only a boy was so renowned for his eloquence that crowds flocked to listen to his orations—and with a "Flavius Alfius", who is referred to by Pliny the Elder as an authority for a story about dolphins. This has led some scholars to conjecture that this person's full, correct name may have been "Flavus Alfius Avitus". All this is very uncertain.

  • Alfi Avit (en llatí Alphius Avitus) va ser un poeta romà que va florir sota els emperadors August i Tiberi. Podria ser la mateixa persona que Alfi Flau (Alfius Flavus), deixeble de Cesti (Cestius) i contemporani de Sèneca. I també el mateix que cita Plini amb el nom de Flavi Alfi, i diu que va escriure una història sobre els dofins. Vossius diu que segurament el seu nom havia de ser Flavus Alfius Avitus, però és incert. Terencià Maure diu que va escriure una obra sobre personatges il·lustres en dímetres iàmbics, en diversos llibres. Priscià de Cesarea cita vuit línies del llibre segon d'aquesta obra. (ca)

We know from the ancient grammarian Terentianus that Alphius Avitus composed a work about "Illustrious Men", in iambic dimeters, extending to several books; and eight lines are cited by Priscian from the second book, forming a part of the legend of the Faliscan schoolteacher who betrayed his students to Marcus Furius Camillus; besides which, three lines more from the first book are contained in some manuscripts of the same grammarian. These fragments are given in the Latin Anthology of Pieter Burman the Younger. There is also an "Alpheus Philologus," from whom Priscian adduces five words, and an "Alfius" whose work on the Trojan War is mentioned by Festus. (en)
