^{page 25 note 5} i. 4. 1; i. 12. 6. According to a scholiast on Juvenal, vi. 452 Quintilian was a pupil of the grammarian Remmius Palaemon; but the fact that he mentions Palaemon without any suggestion that he was his teacher (i. 4. 20) combined with the generally poor quality of the scholia on Juvenal, has made scholars disinclined to accept the statement.

^{page 30 note 8} The date is little more than a guess, but as Quintilian was brought back to Rome by Galba in 68 we may assume that he had been in Spain long enough to make himself known there.

This early dating makes it easier to understand Quintilian's tutorship, but it involves supposing that both their mother and their grandmother married at the age of fourteen. See Cousin in Revue des études latines ix (1931), 62 ff., for further arguments, some rather weak, for dating the Institutio to the very end of Domitian's reign.

^{page 34 note 7} For a recent discussion see Smallwood, E. M. in CPh li (1956), 1 ff.Google Scholar Miss Smallwood argues that Clemens and Domitilla were adherents of Judaism rather than of Christianity. That Domitilla at any rate was a Christian seems, however, if not proved, at least likely.

^{page 34 note 8} A passage (i. 3. 5) which bears a certain resemblance to the parable of the sower has given rise to the suggestion that he may have become acquainted with the Gospels through Domitilla (Colson, F. H. in CR xxxix (1925), 166–70Google Scholar; cf. H. J. Rose, ibid. 17). But the passage was presumably written before Domitilla's sons were entrusted to him, and he may well have been unacquainted with her then. It is also worth noting that the First Epistle of Clement, a contemporary document of Roman Christianity (it is usually dated to the end of Domitian's reign, and it has been surmised that its author was a freedman of Flavius Clemens), shows no clear evidence of a knowledge of the Gospels as we have them.
