C. 16. 70 De progenie sua^ 7 and said to have been com- posed by Messala, is considered by Barthius- and other critics to be spurious. However, whatever literary tracts might have been writ- ten by Messala are all unfortunately lost, to- gether with his Memoirs of the Battle of Phi- lippi, to which Plutarch refers, as existing in his time. We noticed heretofore, that Messala's tri- umph, in 727, closed his military career, and, we add with sorrow, almost his life ; for though he lived to the mi...ddle of Augustus's long reign, 8 his name is rarely mentioned afterwards by any contemporary historian. 7 It first made its appearance, in the year 1 540, at Mayence, under the inspection of M. Jacques Bedrote ; was translated into Ttalian by Geo. Vine. Belprato, about the year 1549 ; and has since been published in England along with the works of Eutropius. II n'est pas difficile de connoitre qu'il n'est digne ni de l'esprit de Messala, ni de la Latinite du Siecle d'Augus- te. — -Moreri. 8 Nam Corvinus in medium usque Augusti principa- tum duravit.
