Zirkoff, Boris

Sabinus, Aulus. Latin poet who died ca. 14 b.c.; he was a friend of Ovid and is known to us only from two passages of the works of the latter. From one of these (Amores, II, xviii, 27-34) we learn that Sabinus had written answers to six of the Epistolae Heroidum of Ovid. The other passage (ex Pont., IV, xvi, 13-16) informs us that Sabinus wrote works entitled Troezena and Dierum (Days), the latter supposed to be a continuation of Ovid’s Fasti.
