Publilius Syrus
Publilius Syrus was a Latin writer of maxims, born in Syria. He was brought as a slave to Italy, but by his wit and talent he won the favour of his master, who freed and educated him. Publilius' name, due to early medieval palatalization of 'l' between two 'i's, is often presented by manuscripts in corrupt form as 'Publius'.
