At Institutio Oratoria 10.1.96, Quintilian states his opinion that, aside from Horace, Caesius Bassus is the only Latin lyric poet worth reading.

Caesius, which is a cognomen or nickname, would have been preceded by a praenomen or given name and a gentile or clan name in the classical period.
However, such two element names as this were relatively common in the late medieval and Renaissance period amongst those who would emulate the classical learning, whilst lacking it.
Specifically, Caesius came to be regarded as equivalent to a given name (like Vergil and Ovid, etc.) due in part to the Caesius Bassus to whom Persius dedicated one of his works.

Courtney, *Fragmentary Latin Poets* (Oxford 1993), gives a full page on Caesius Bassus, which I can fax if you like.
Besides providing the text of the only surviving line of his verse (*Calliope princeps sapienti psallerat ore*), Courtney identifies him with the editor of Persius and the author of the metrical treatise in GLK vi.255-72 and also (among much else) says:
