Sumario:This contribution reviews a fragment of the pseudo–Acronian scholia on Horace. The author states that in a biography of Sallust, Asconius, the renowned commentator on Cicero, mentioned the episode –known from other sources– of the whipping the historian received from Milo after being caught in adultery with Fausta, Milo’s wife. No other source cites said biography of Sallust and several authors have questioned its existence, although other critics accept it without reservations. Thanks to a plausible text amendment we can definitively rule out that Asconius wrote a Vita Sallustii.
