Vibius Sequester, De fluminibus fontibus lacubus nemoribus paludibus montibus gentibus per litteras, in Alexander Riese, ed. (1878), Geographi Latini Minores, p. 148: "Hypanis Scythiae qui, ut ait Gallus 'uno tellures dividit amne duas': Asiam enim ab Europa separat." ("The Scythian Hypanis which, as Gallus says, 'with its one stream divides two lands': that is, it separates Asia from Europe.")

Archived from the original on 2 September 2021. For example, the admittedly unusual case of Vibius Sequester, the late antique author of the treatise De fluminibus fontibus lacubus, whose principle claim to fame is having preserved the only line of Cornelius Gallus' poetry known before the publication of the Qasr Ibrim papyrus. Vibius' text is transmitted in a single independent manuscript (V = Vat. lat. 4929, s. ix, owned by Heiric of Auxerre); it draws extensively on now lost ancient sources, and where it appears corrupt, it is often hard to tell whether the error arose in Vibius' source, in his misunderstanding of that source, or in the course of transmission.
