  Maurus Servius Honoratius
Maurus (or Marius) Servius Honoratius, Roman grammarian and commentator on Virgil, flourished at the end of the 4th century AD.
In the grammatical interpretation of his author's language, Servius does not rise above the stiff and overwrought subtleties of his time; while his etymologies, as is natural, violate every law of sound and sense.
The Essai sur Servius by E Thomas (1880) is an elaborate and valuable examination of all matters connected with Servius; many points are treated also by O Ribbeck in his Prolegomena to Virgil; see also a review of Thilo's edition by H Nettleship in Journal of Philology, x.

 Servius | English | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
Maurus (or Marius) Servius Honoratius, Roman grammarian and commentator on Virgil, flourished at the end of the 4th century AD.He is one of the interlocutors in the Saturnalia of Ambrosius Theodosius Macrobius, and allusions in that work and a letter from Quintus Aurelius Symmachus to Servius show that he was a pagan.
He was one of the most favourable examples of the Roman "grammatici" and the most learned man of his time.He is chiefly known for his commentary on Virgil, which has come down to us in two distinct forms.
A second class of manuscripts (all going back to the 9th and 10th centuries) presents a much expanded commentary, in which the first is embedded; but these manuscripts differ very much in the amount and character of the additions they make to the original.

 Maurus Servius Honoratius | THG Lexikon
Maurus (oder Marius) Servius Honoratius, ein römischer Grammatiker und Vergil-Kommentator, lebte am Ende des 4.
In der grammatischen Interpretation der Sprache seines Autors erhebt sich Servius jedoch nicht über die steifen und erschöpften Feinheiten seiner Zeit; während seine Etymologien jedes Gesetz von Gefühl und Klang verletzen.
Das Essai sur Servius von E. Thomas (1880) bleibt eine ausgefeilte und wertvolle Untersuchung zu allen Themen, die Servius betreffen; viele Punkte davon werden auch von Otto Ribbeck in seiner Prolegomena zu Vergil behandelt; siehe auch die Revision von Thilos Ausgabe durch Henry Nettleship im Journal of Philology, 10 (1882).
