| description | Ennius' <em>Scipio</em> is represented for us by three fragments explicitly attributed to the poem by our ancient sources, frr. 31, 32 and 33 Courtney (= <em>var</em>. 9–12, 13 and 14 Vahlen), along with a detail from the Suda s.v.

I Vahlen) asserting Homer's pre-eminence as a panegyrist (and Scipio's as a recipient of panegyric), which is echoed (and perhaps amplified) by Valerius Maximus (8.14.1). |
