Σολπίκιος, ὕπατος, Ῥοῦφος ἐπίκλησιν, ἀνὴρ ἦν ἔν τε ταῖς πολεμικαῖς πράξεσιν ἐπιφανὴς καὶ πολιτείας προαίρεσιν ἐζηλωκὼς τὴν διὰ μέσου.

Notes

  1. A contextless extract (but lacking the Suda's initial gloss, "consul") from Dionysius of Halicarnassus (Roman Antiquities 14.7.1).
    The individual in question is probably Servius Sulpicius Camerinus Rufus, one of the consuls of 345 BCE.
